“…Among these candidates, MoS 2 , a typical layered 2D TMDCs formed by Van der Waals interaction and stacking of S–Mo–S layers, attracts extensive interests with its adjustable bandgap, unique band structure, high energy-conversion efficiency, and earth abundance 23 – 25 . However, the electrocatalytic activity of MoS 2 is closely associated with its surface electric structure 26 – 36 , many researchers have focused on adjusting the electronic structure of the MoS 2 surface to promote electrocatalytic activity, such as surface engineering 26 , doping 27 , single-atom anchoring 28 , phase structure 29 – 33 , interface active site 34 , 35 , and defect 36 . Interestingly, two main phases of MoS 2 were widely justified: 2H and 1T phases 29 .…”
