Ultraefficient Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution from Strain-Engineered, Multilayer MoS2

Dohyun Rhuy et al.

Summary: This paper presents an approach to develop ultra-efficient catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) using low-cost, bulk multilayer MoS2. By transferring MoS2 flakes to gold thin films and inducing a local phase transition through surface wrinkles, the authors achieved HER activity comparable to platinum. The superior performance was attributed to the combined effect of the phase transition and improved charge transfer resistance through desulfurization.

Sheraz Ahmad et al.

Summary: The physical properties of materials can be tuned for applications in nanoelectronics and renewable energy by stacking two-dimensional materials and applying strain through weak van der Waals interaction. Studies on Janus transition metal dichalcogenides heterostructures have investigated their electronic properties and band alignment, confirming type-I alignment and observing transitions to type-II or type-III alignment with strain. Investigation using semi classical Boltzmann transport theory has shown that these heterostructures have high Seebeck coefficients, making them suitable for thermoelectric devices.
