Wrinkle facilitated hydrogen evolution reaction of vacancy-defected transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers

Abstract

Utilizing transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) as catalysts in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) exhibits a promising prospect for hydrogen production. Here by first-principles calculations we reveal that the catalytic activities of...

Theoretical Study of Stability of Halogen‐Defective Trihalide Monolayers: Cases of AlI3, AsI3, and IrBr3

“…This property can be further improved by the addition of metal atoms on the surface, which interacts with the charge transfer at the vacancy sites. [50,51] . In addition, the desulfurization technique is also used in the study of self-assembly materials.…”

Biomimicry-inspired fish scale-like Ni3N/FeNi3N/NF superhydrophilic/superaerophobic nanoarrays displaying high electrocatalytic performance

“…This explains why the hierarchical structure will have enhanced the catalytic activity. Moreover, adjusting the electronic structures through heteroatom doping, [19][20][21][22][23] defect induction, [24][25][26][27] and heterostructure [28][29][30][31] have also been experimentally demonstrated to improve the catalytic activity of the catalyst. For instance, Wu et al 32 anchored porous Ni 2 P/NiCoP heterostructure nanoarrays with rich grain boundaries on NF substrate through hydrothermal acid etching and static gas-phase phosphating processes.…”
