Abstract:Generating pits and thereby active edge sites of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) monolayers is desirable for many electrochemical catalytic reactions including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Thermal oxidation is one of the potentially scalable and facile methods to effectively create the pits on MoS2 monolayers. Therefore understanding the thermal oxidation mechanism is very important to precisely control the generation of active edge sites of MoS2-based electrocatalysts. To date, pits are assumed to be favora… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
