Charge Mediated Semiconducting-to-Metallic Phase Transition in Molybdenum Disulfide Monolayer and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction in New 1T′ Phase

Abstract

The phase transition of single layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) from semiconducting 2H to metallic 1T and then to 1T′ phases, and the effect of the phase transition on hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are investigated within this work by density functional theory. Experimentally, 2H-MoS 2 has been widely used as an excellent electrode for HER and can get charged easily. Here we find that the negative charge has a significant impact on the structural phase transition in a MoS 2 monolayer. The thermodynamic stability of 1T-MoS 2 increases with the negative charge state, comparing with the 2H-MoS 2 structure before phase transition and the kinetic energy barrier for a phase transition from 2H to 1T decreases from 1.59 to 0.27 eV when 4e – are injected per MoS 2 unit. Additionally, 1T phase is found to transform into the distorted structure (1T′ phase) spontaneously. On their activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction, 1T′-MoS 2 structure shows comparable hydrogen evolution reaction activity to the 2H-MoS 2 structure. If the charge transfer kinetics is taken into account, the catalytic activity of 1T′-MoS 2 is superior to that of 2H-MoS 2 . Our finding provides a possible novel method for phase transition of MoS 2 and enriches understanding of the catalytic properties of MoS 2 for HER.

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.
