Monolayer MoSi 2 N4-x as promising electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction: A DFT prediction

Wangwang Qian et al.

Summary: The density functional theory calculations revealed that introducing nitrogen vacancies on the surface can enhance the catalytic activity of monolayer MoSi2N4 for hydrogen evolution reaction, with a lower overpotential compared to noble metal Pt. The HER activity of MoSi2N4 is highly dependent on the surface NV concentration, which is related to the center of the Si-3p band.
