DFT calculations have been performed to study the HER mechanism at 1T/2H MoS2 heterostructures. The HER activity along the 1T/2H phase interface is comparable with those at the Mo-edge of 2H MoS2 and the basal plane of 1T MoS2.

Five ferrocene alkymethylimidazolium cations 1a–1d and 2 with different alkyl spacer lengths were reinvestigated using voltammetry and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The voltammetric responses of ligand 2 toward various anions are described in detail. An interesting and unprecedented finding from both experimental and theoretical studies is that coupled electron and intramolecular anion (F−) transfer may be present in these molecules. In addition, it was also observed that, in these studied molecules, the electrostatic attraction interaction toward F− would effectively vanish beyond 1 nm, which was previously reported only for cations.
