Effect of Intercalated Metals on the Electrocatalytic Activity of 1T-MoS2 for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction AITranslate
Abstract AITranslate
We show that intercalation of cations (Na+, Ca2+, Ni2+, and Co2+) into the interlayer region of 1T-MoS2 is an effective strategy to lower the overpotential for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In acidic media the onset potential for 1T-MoS2 with intercalated ions is lowered by ∼60 mV relative to that for pristine 1T-MoS2 (onset of ∼180 mV). Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show a lowering in the Gibbs free energy for H-adsorption (ΔGH) on these intercalated structures relative to intercalant-free 1T-MoS2. The DFT calculations suggest that Na+ intercalation results in a ΔGH close to zero. Consistent with calculation, experiments show that the intercalation of Na+ ions into the interlayer region of 1T-MoS2 results in the lowest overpotential for the HER.
