As a typical two-dimensional (2D) MXene, Ti3C2O2 has been considered as a potential material for high-performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst, due to its anticorrosion and hydrophilic surface. However, it is still a challenge to improve the Ti3C2O2 surficial HER catalytic activity. In this work, we investigated the HER activity of Ti3C2O2 after the surface was doped with S, Se, and Te by the first principles method. The results indicated that the HER activity of Ti3C2O2 is improved after being doped with S, Se, Te because the Gibbs free energy of hydrogen adsorption (ΔGH) is increased from −2.19 eV to 0.08 eV. Furthermore, we also found that the ΔGH of Ti3C2O2 increased from 0.182 eV to 0.08 eV with the doping concentration varied from 5.5% to 16.7%. The HER catalytic activity improvement of Ti3C2O2 is attributed to the local crystal structure distortion in catalytic active sites and Fermi level shift leads to the p-d orbital hybridization. Our results pave a new avenue for preparing a low-cost and high performance HER catalyst.

Sea urchin-like ternary cobalt phosphosulfide nanoneedles in the tetragonal phase were developed. This efficient and robust material exhibits superior hydrogen evolution reaction catalytic activity and durability in both acidic and alkaline solutions, and represents the most promising alternative to a platinum-based catalyst for use in electrochemical energy storage and conversion, and other applications.

Pt as a chemical inert metal has been widely applied as the counter electrode in various electrochemical measurements. However, it can also be dissolved and redeposit to the working electrode under certain electrochemical circumstances. Herein we demonstrated a cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycling method to synthesize a catalyst comprising inserted Pt nanoparticles into MoS2 nanoflake stack structures on stainless steel mesh (SSM). The binder-free composite structure exhibits significantly enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity with an overpotentials of 87 mV at 10 mA cm−2. The deposited Pt nanoparticles significantly enhance the catalytic activity through changing the structure of MoS2 and increasing the amount of active sites. This work provides a new way forward for rational design of the nano-electrocatalysts.

This study establishes big data for the catalytic properties of two-dimensional metal-dichalcogenides (2D-TMDs) toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In addition to conventionally known active sites of edges, it proposes that terrace sites (or the basal plane) can be substantially activated for the HER.
