P Dopants Triggered New Basal Plane Active Sites and Enlarged Interlayer Spacing in MoS2 Nanosheets toward Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Abstract

MoS 2 -based transition-metal chalcogenides are considered as cost-effective, highly active, and stable materials with great potential in the application of electrocatalytic hydrogen production. However, their limited quantity of active sites and poor conductivity have hampered the efficiency of hydrogen production. Combining calculations and experiments, we demonstrate that P dopants could be the new active sites in the basal plane of MoS 2 and help improve the intrinsic electronic conductivity, leading to a significantly improved activity for hydrogen evolution. Furthermore, the P-doped MoS 2 nanosheets show enlarged interlayer spacing, facilitating hydrogen adsorption and release progress. Experimental results indicate that the P-doped MoS 2 nanosheets with enlarged interlayer spacing exhibit remarkable electrocatalytic activity and good long-term operational stability (with Tafel slope of 34 mV/dec and an extremely low overpotential of ∼43 mV at 10 mA/cm 2 ) . Our method demonstrated a facile technology for improving the electrocatalytic efficiency of MoS 2 for hydrogen evolution reaction through nonmetal doping, which could be explored to enhance and understand the catalytic properties of other transition-metal chalcogenides.

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.
