Title: Activating and optimizing MoS₂ basal planes for hydrogen evolution through the formation of strained sulphur vacancies

Abstract

As a promising non-precious catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction, molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂) is known to contain active edge sites and an inert basal plane. Activating the MoS₂ basal plane could further enhance its HER activity but is not often a strategy for doing so. Herein, we report the first activation and optimization of the basal plane of monolayer 2H-MoS₂ for HER by introducing sulphur (S) vacancies and strain. Our theoretical and experimental results show that the S-vacancies are new catalytic sites in the basal plane, where gap states around the Fermi level allow hydrogen to bind directly to exposed Mo atoms. The hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔG_H) can be further manipulated by straining the surface with S-vacancies, which fine-tunes the catalytic activity. Furthermore, proper combinations of S-vacancy and strain yield the optimal ΔG_H = 0 eV, which allows us to achieve the highest intrinsic HER activity among molybdenum-sulphide-based catalysts.

Electrochemical generation of sulfur vacancies in the basal plane of MoS2 for hydrogen evolution

Journal Article Tsai, Charlie ; Li, Hong ; Park, Sangwook ; ... - Nature Communications

Recently, sulfur (S)-vacancies created on the basal plane of 2H-molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) using argon plasma exposure exhibited higher intrinsic activity for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction than the edge sites and metallic 1T-phase of MoS₂ catalysts. But, a more industrially viable alternative to the argon plasma desulfurization process is needed. In this work, we introduce a scalable route towards generating S-vacancies on the MoS₂ basal plane using electrochemical desulfurization. We found that they can be electrochemically reduced under accessible applied potentials, even though sulfur atoms on the basal plane are known to be stable and inert. This can be donemore »« less

Mechanism of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on 1T-MoS₂ from First Principles

Journal Article Tang, Qing ; Jiang, De-en - ACS Catalysis

The 1T phase of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has been shown in recent experiments to display excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but the catalytic mechanism has not been elucidated so far. Herein, using 1T MoS₂ as the prototypical TMD material, we studied the HER activity on its basal plane from periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Compared to the nonreactive basal plane of 2H phase MoS₂, the catalytic activity of the basal plane of 1T phase MoS₂ mainly arises from its affinity for binding H at the surface S sites. Using the binding free energy (ΔG_H) of Hmore »« less

Directed surfaces structures and interfaces for enhanced electrocatalyst activity, selectivity, and stability for energy conversion reactions

Technical Report Jaramillo, Thomas F.

In this project, we have employed a systematic approach to develop active, selective, and stable catalyst materials for important electrochemical reactions involving energy conversion. In particular, we have focused our attention on developing active catalyst materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). HER: We have synthesized and investigated several highly active and acid stable non-precious metal HER catalysts, including: [Mo₃S₁₃]^2- nanoclusters (Nature Chemistry, 2014) and molybdenum phosphosulfide (MoP|S) (Angewandte Chemie, 2014). We have also aimed to engineer these catalyst formulations in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fundamental studies of watermore »« less

Contributions of Phase, Sulfur Vacancies, and Edges to the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalytic Activity of Porous Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets

Journal Article Yin, Ying ; Han, Jiecai ; Zhang, Yumin ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) is a promising nonprecious catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) that has been extensively studied due to its excellent performance, but the lack of understanding of the factors that impact its catalytic activity hinders further design and enhancement of MoS₂-based electrocatalysts. Here, by using novel porous (holey) metallic 1T phase MoS₂ nanosheets synthesized by a liquid-ammonia-assisted lithiation route, we systematically investigated the contributions of crystal structure (phase), edges, and sulfur vacancies (S-vacancies) to the catalytic activity toward HER from five representative MoS₂ nanosheet samples, including 2H and 1T phase, porous 2H and 1T phase, and sulfur-compensatedmore »« less

Enhancing Catalytic Activity of MoS2 Basal Plane S-Vacancy by Co Cluster Addition

Journal Article Park, Sangwook ; Park, Joonsuk ; Abroshan, Hadi ; ... - ACS Energy Letters

The basal plane of molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) was recently activated for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by creating sulfur (S) vacancies (MoS_2-x). However, the HER activity of those S-vacancies depends on the concentration of S-vacancies, imposing a dilemma for either improving activity per site or increasing overall active site density. In this work, we use density functional theory (DFT) calculations and experiments to show that the HER activities of MoS2-x are greatly enhanced by adding cobalt (Co) clusters on the basal plane. Furthermore, our DFT results show that the highest HER activity is achieved when the Co clusters are anchored onmore »« less
