Design of 2D Layered Catalyst by Coherent Heteroepitaxial Conversion for Robust Hydrogen Generation

Yeoseon Sim et al.

Summary: The novel approach proposed in this study aims to design efficient and robust HER catalysts through out-of-plane deformation of 2D heterojunction using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. By converting high-yield, single-crystalline WTe2 nanobelts to WS2 with lattice coherency, both lateral and vertical junctions in the WTe2/WS2 heterostructure are achieved. The increase in effective surface area and decrease in electron-transfer resistance across the 2D heterojunctions enhance the HER performance and long-term durability of the electrocatalysts.
