Nitrogen reduction reactions (NRRs) under mild conditions retain an enormous challenge in
effective N 2 activation on metal-based catalysts. Here, by spin-polarized DFT calculations …

The metallic 1T phase of WS2 (1T‐WS2), which boosts the charge transfer between the
electron source and active edge sites, can be used as an efficient electrocatalyst for the …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) metallic transition metal dichalcogenides (MTMDCs), the
complement of 2D semiconducting TMDCs, have attracted extensive attentions in recent …

Introducing the density of states or defects within the band gap in two-dimensional
nanomaterials by rare-earth (RE) element substitution would make them potential …

We report a layer thickness-tunable direct synthesis growth method for bi-to few-layer
crystalline molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) thin layers. For the first time, a facile, cost effective …

Although many electrochemical properties of 2D materials depend sensitively on the
nanosheet dimensions, there are no systematic, quantitative studies which analyze the effect …

WS2 nanosheets–CdS nanorods with heterojunctions were prepared by an
ultrasonic/exfoliation method using dimethylformamide as the dispersing agent. CdS …

Layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)
and tungsten disulfide (WS2), have attracted considerable interest as alternatives to …

Edge-enriched transition metal dichalcogenides, such as WS2, are promising
electrocatalysts for sustainable production of H2 through the electrochemical hydrogen …

The efficient generation of hydrogen through the electro-splitting of water has triggered great
