Activation of MoS2 Basal Planes for Hydrogen Evolution by Zinc

Abstract

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) has been widely studied as a potential earth‐abundant electrocatalyst for the hydrogen‐evolution reaction (HER). Defect engineering and heteroelemental doping are effective methods to enhance the catalytic activity in the HER, so exploring an efficient route to simultaneously achieve in‐plane vacancy engineering and elemental doping of MoS 2 is necessary. In this study, Zinc, a low‐cost and moderately active metal, has been used to realize this strategy by generation of sulfur vacancies and zinc doping on MoS 2 in one step. Density functional theory calculations reveal that the zinc atoms not only lower the formation energy of S vacancies, but also help to decrease Δ GH of S‐vacancy sites near the Zn atoms. At an optimal zinc‐reduced MoS 2 (Zn@MoS 2) example, the activated basal planes contribute to the HER activity with an overpotential of −194 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a low Tafel slope of 78 mV/dec.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
