Abstract

Recent work shows that nanoparticulate and amorphous molybdenum and tungsten sulfide materials are active catalysts for hydrogen evolution in aqueous solution. These materials hold promise for applications in clean hydrogen production technologies. In this perspective, the syntheses, structures and catalytic activities of nanoparticulate MoS2 and WS2, incomplete cubane-type [Mo3S4]4+ and amorphous MoSx films are summarized, compared, and discussed.

  • Transition metal oxides/sulfides have emerged as effective alternatives to Pt and Pt-based electrocatalysts.

    “Therefore, in recent years, transition metal oxides/sulfides have emerged as effective alternatives to Pt and Pt-based electrocatalysts.”

    From Hierarchically Ordinated Two-Dimensional MoS2 Nanosheets on Three-Dimensional Reduced Graphene Oxide Aerogels as Highly Active and Stable Catalysts for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (2021) · cites this paper as [12]

    The Broader context and Conclusions describe molybdenum and tungsten sulfides as newly emerged, active hydrogen-evolution catalysts made from materials cheaper than platinum. The claim extends that finding to transition-metal oxides and to transition-metal sulfides generally; the paper passages support the specific sulfides discussed, but not oxides. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
