Title: Defects Engineered Monolayer MoS2 for Improved Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Abstract

MoS2 is a promising, low-cost material for electrochemical hydrogen production due to its high activity and stability during the reaction. Our work represents an easy method to increase the hydrogen production in electrochemical reaction of MoS2 via defect engineering, and helps to understand the catalytic properties of MoS2.
