Regulating the electronic structure of molybdenum disulfide by chromium incorporation for robust hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

We developed novel uniform chromium-doped molybdenum disulfide (Cr–MoS2) nanosheets for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The Cr doping is beneficial for the charge redistribution of MoS2 and energy barrier optimization of the HER, which endows Cr–MoS2 with excellent catalytic activity and stability, as confirmed by in situ Raman spectroscopy.
