In this paper, the magnetic and electrocatalytic properties of hydrothermally grown transition metal doped (10% of Co, Ni, Fe, and Mn) 2H-MoS₂ nanocrystals (NCs) with a particle size 25–30 nm are reported. The pristine 2H-MoS₂ NCs showed a mixture of canted anti-ferromagnetic and ferromagnetic behavior. While Co, Ni, and Fe doped MoS₂ NCs revealed room temperature ferromagnetism, Mn doped MoS₂ NCs showed room temperature paramagnetism, predominantly. The ground state of all the materials is found to be canted-antiferromagnetic phase. To study electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction, polarization curves were measured for undoped and the doped MoS₂ NCs. At the overpotential of η = –300 mV, the current densities, listed from greatest to least, are FeMoS₂, CoMoS₂, MoS₂, NiMoS₂, and MnMoS2, and the order of catalytic activity found from Tafel slopes is CoMoS2 > MoS₂ > NiMoS₂ > FeMoS₂ > MnMoS₂. The increasing number of catalytically active sites in Co doped MoS₂ NCs might be responsible for their superior electrocatalytic activity. In conclusion, the present results show that the magnetic order-disorder behavior and catalytic activity can be modulated by choosing the suitable dopants in NCs of 2D materials.
