Thermally annealing mixtures of MoS2 and red phosphorus from 1:0.5 to 1:8 w:w ratio at 750 °C for 1 h under argon/hydrogen leads to the formation of a MoS2(1−x)Px solid solution (x = 0 to 1). At x = 0.53, the solid solution possesses one of the highest hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities of non-precious-metal-based electrocatalysts. The effective and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution in acidic solution developed here holds promise for substitution of scarce and expensive platinum. The high performance originates from the increased surface area and roughness of the solid solution, as well as the activation of the previously non-active sites as suggested by first–principles calculations. The enhanced HER activity via formation of a hetero-anion solid solution may open a new avenue for improving performance of HER and related electrocatalysts.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
