Abstract
An ingenious microstructure of electromagnetic microwave absorption materials is crucial to achieve strong absorption and a broad bandwidth. Herein, one-dimensional (1D) carbon fibers with implantation of zero-dimensional (0D) ZIF-8-derived carbon frameworks and construction of a three-dimensional (3D) microcosmic multichannel porous structure are fabricated by electro-blown spinning, solvent-thermal reaction, and high-temperature pyrolysis techniques. The 1D carbon fiber skeleton with a multichannel structure provides a direct axial conductive pathway for charge transport, which plays an important role in dielectric loss. The 0D surface carbon frameworks offer plenty of heterogeneous interfaces to trigger intensive interfacial polarization loss and act as dihedral angles for microwave scattering. The 3D microcosmic multichannel pores can not only generate multiple reflections as much as possible to dissipate electromagnetic microwave energy but also supply huge interior cavities to improve impedance matching. Thanks to the synergistic effect of a strong electrically conductive pathway for enhancing the conductive loss, a plenteous heterogeneous interface for triggering intensive interfacial polarization loss, microcosmic multichannel pores for generating multiple reflections and improving impedance matching, and N and O atom doping for inducing dipole polarization, the optimal sample with an ingenious microstructure delivers an excellent absorption performance of a minimum reflection loss of -35.5 dB at a thickness of 5.0 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth of 6.72 GHz (10.96-17.68 GHz) at a thickness of 2.0 mm. Such a well-designed multichannel porous carbon fiber may pave the way for the exploitation of high-performance microwave absorbing materials.

Abstract
Cost-effective and earth-abundant oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are an incredible research hotspot in numerous energy storage and conversion technology fields. Herein, CoS2/MoS2 nanosheets supported by carbon cloth as a dual-active CC@CoS2/MoS2 heterostructure electrocatalyst is prepared through a simple solvothermal method. The catalyst demonstrates admirable OER performance in 1 M KOH solution with a low overpotential of 243 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a minor Tafel slope of 109 mV dec-1, displaying honorable stability after 1000 cyclic voltammetry (CV) cycles and long-term robustness over 60 h. Theoretical calculations further ascertain that the rate-determining step of the electrocatalytic course of the CC@CoS2/MoS2 heterostructure is the conversion *O + OH- → *OOH + e- with a lower energy barrier of 1.49 eV due to the heterojunction established by CoS2 and MoS2, which can promote the OER performance of electrocatalysts. The actual identification of the catalytic mechanism in the heterostructure is conducive to the improvement of electrocatalysis applications in the OER.

Abstract
The electrocatalytic CO2 reduction (ECR) to produce valuable fuel is a promising process for addressing atmospheric CO2 emissions and energy shortages. In this study, Cl-anion doped cadmium sulfide structures were directly fabricated on a nickel foam surface (Cl/CdS-NF) using an in situ hydrothermal method. The Cl-anion doping could significantly improve ECR activity for CO production in ionic liquid and acetonitrile mixed solution, compared to pristine CdS. The highest Faradaic efficiency of CO is 98.1 % on a Cl/CdS-NF-2 cathode with an excellent current density of 137.0 mA cm-2 at -2.25 V versus ferrocene/ferrocenium (Fc/Fc+ , all potentials are versus Fc/Fc+ in this study). In particular, CO Faradaic efficiencies remained above 80 % in a wide potential range of -2.05 V to -2.45 V and a maximum partial current density (192.6 mA cm-2 ) was achieved at -2.35 V. The Cl/CdS-NF-2, with appropriate Cl anions, displayed abundant active sites and a suitable electronic structure, resulting in outstanding ECR activity. Density functional theory calculations further demonstrated that Cl/CdS is beneficial for increasing the adsorption capacities of *COOH and *H, which can enhance the activity of the ECR toward CO and suppress the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Abstract
To support the global goal of carbon neutrality, numerous efforts have been devoted to the advancement of electrochemical energy conversion (EEC) and electrochemical energy storage (EES) technologies. For these technologies, transition metal dichalcogenide/carbon (TMDC/C) heterostructures have emerged as promising candidates for both electrode materials and electrocatalysts over the past decade, due to their complementary advantages. It is worth noting that interfacial properties play a crucial role in establishing the overall electrochemical characteristics of TMDC/C heterostructures. However, despite the significant scientific contribution in this area, a systematic understanding of TMDC/C heterostructures' interfacial engineering is currently lacking. This literature review aims to focus on three types of interfacial engineering, namely interfacial orientation engineering, interfacial stacking engineering, and interfacial doping engineering, of TMDC/C heterostructures for their potential applications in EES and EEC devices. To accomplish this goal, a combination of experimental and theoretical approaches was used to allow the analysis and summary of the fundamental electrochemical properties and preparation strategies of TMDC/C heterostructures. Moreover, this review highlights the design and utilization of the interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures for specific EES and EEC devices. Finally, the challenges and opportunities of using interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures in practical EES and EEC devices are outlined. We expect that this review will effectively guide readers in their understanding, design, and application of interfacial engineering of TMDC/C heterostructures.

Abstract
Heterogenous catalysis is important for future clean and sustainable energy systems. However, an urgent need to promote the development of efficient and stable hydrogen evolution catalysts still exists. In this study, ruthenium nanoparticles (Ru NPs) are in situ grown on Fe5 Ni4 S8 support (Ru/FNS) by replacement growth strategy. An efficient Ru/FNS electrocatalyst with enhanced interfacial effect is then developed and successfully applied for pH-universal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The Fe vacancies formed by FNS during the electrochemical process are found to be conducive to the introduction and firm anchoring of Ru atoms. Compared to Pt atoms, Ru atoms get easily aggregated and then grow rapidly to form NPs. This induces more bonding between Ru NPs and FNS, preventing the fall-off of Ru NPs and maintaining the structural stability of FNS. Moreover, the interaction between FNS and Ru NPs can adjust the d-band center of Ru NPs, as well as balance the hydrolytic dissociation energy and hydrogen binding energy. Consequently, the as-prepared Ru/FNS electrocatalyst exhibits excellent HER activity and improved cycle stability under pH-universal conditions. The developed pentlandite-based electrocatalysts with low cost, high activity, and good stability are promising candidates for future applications in water electrolysis.

Abstract
Being chemically stable, low cost and made from abundant resources, titanium dioxide (TiO2) possesses the most desired advantages for photocatalytic applications. However, the intrinsic limits of high surface hydrogen adsorption energy, wide band gap, low separation rate and rapid recombination of the photogenerated charge carriers greatly hamper its utilization. To address these issues, the present work combines density functional theory (DFT) calculations with rational modifications of TiO2 with nickel doping and an ultra-thin shield of fluorinated carbon (FNT) for application in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Comprehensive studies imply that the synergistic modifications not only optimize the surface H adsorption, but also facilitate the interfacial charge transfer and simultaneously prevent the photochemical and chemical corrosion of the catalysts. In good agreement with the theoretical predictions, the resulting FNT photocatalysts demonstrate an optimal HER efficiency of 13.0 mmol g-1 h-1, nearly 33-times and over three-times beyond that of the pristine TiO2 (0.4 mmol g-1 h-1) and the Ni-doped TiO2 (4.2 mmol g-1 h-1), respectively. Moreover, the composite also exhibits excellent stability with a well-reproducible HER performance over a 66-hour cyclic HER test of 15 cycles.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts with a high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity are very important for electrochemical water oxidation, but they are also challenging. In this study, N-doped graphene-like supported highly dispersed bimetallic NiCoP NPs as an efficient electrocatalyst for water oxidation were prepared by using cation exchange resin as a carbon source and by loading cobalt and nickel on D001 by a high-temperature calcination method. The designed electrocatalyst with bimetallic phosphide as the active center shows excellent OER catalytic performance, with an overpotential of 324 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a corresponding Tafel slope of 97.28 mV dec-1. The increase in NiCoP-3@GL activity may be due to the increase in surface area (933.49 m2 g-1) caused by the irregular morphology, rich interface contact, and porous structure. In addition, the strong combination of NiCoP and GL improves the structural stability and durability of the electrocatalyst. After 5000 cyclic voltammetry tests, the performance of the catalyst decreased by 16.9 %. This work provides a new idea for designing efficient bimetallic phosphide electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting is considered to be an important method for efficient hydrogen production to alleviate energy shortage and environmental pollution, but its development is currently limited by the slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER). To solve the sluggish reaction kinetics of OER, the focus is on the exploration of low-cost and efficient electrocatalysts, which is quite significant for the development of electrochemical water splitting. Herein, a NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDH) electrocatalyst (denoted as FNH) is achieved by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. The experimental results show that due to the synergistic interaction of introduced Fe species, the FNH possesses a special three-dimensional (3D) vertical nanosheet array structure, which results in efficient ion access. More importantly, the strong electronic interaction between Fe and Ni sites results in the optimized electronic structure of the Ni sites, which not only generates abundant Ni3+ sites as optimized active sites for OER, but also decrease the charge transfer resistance. Thus, the FNH catalyst exhibits an extraordinary overpotential of 386.8 mV to deliver 100 mA cm−2, showing better activity than that of RuO2, and satisfactory cycling stability after continuous operation for 28 h. Our work provides an easy-to-implement method to obtain high-efficiency OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Metal phase molybdenum disulfide (1T-MoS2) is considered a promising electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, an interface engineering-induced strategy is reported to prepare a 1T-MoS2/NiS heterostructure. The 1T-MoS2/NiS heterostructure exhibits an enhanced HER activity compared with that of the 1T-MoS2 in 1.0 M KOH. It achieves an overpotential of 0.12 V at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with a Tafel slope of 69 mV dec−1. The density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the interface engineering-induced 1T-MoS2/NiS heterostructure exhibits regulated electronic states of the S sites in 1T-MoS2, thus promoting the HER activity. This work demonstrates that tuning the electronic structure through interface engineering to enhance the intrinsic activity of electrocatalysts is a feasible strategy.

Abstract
Excessive glucose in food poses a non-negligible threat to its inherent quality and human health, which makes it imperative to develop a highly sensitive sensor for real-time glucose detection. In this work, an integrated electrochemical glucose sensor based on a nanoflower-like MoS2@CuCo2O4 heterostructure was carefully constructed. Under optimal conditions, the as-fabricated sensor exhibited a high sensitivity of 1,303 μA mM-1 cm-2 over a wide range of 0.5-393.0 μmol/L, accompanied by a low determination limit (0.5 μmol/L) and short response time (2.1 s). The favorable sensing performance of the MoS2@CuCo2O4 nanocomposite-modified electrode in electrochemical analyses was attributed to the introduction of unique nanoflower-like heterostructure and the synergistic effects between MoS2 and CuCo2O4. Furthermore, the satisfactory applicability of this sensor in beverages was confirmed. These results demonstrate that the MoS2@CuCo2O4/GCE may be a promising platform for sensitive monitoring of glucose content in food samples.

Abstract
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), with a two-dimensional (2D) structure, has attracted huge research interest due to its unique electrical, optical, and physicochemical properties. MoS2 has been used as a co-catalyst for the synthesis of novel heterojunction composites with enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production under solar light irradiation. In this review, we briefly highlight the atomic-scale structure of MoS2 nanosheets. The top-down and bottom-up synthetic methods of MoS2 nanosheets are described. Additionally, we discuss the formation of MoS2 heterostructures with titanium dioxide (TiO2), graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4), and other semiconductors and co-catalysts for enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen generation. This review addresses the challenges and future perspectives for enhancing solar hydrogen production performance in heterojunction materials using MoS2 as a co-catalyst.

Abstract
Defect engineering is one of the effective ways to improve the electrochemical property of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIB). Herein, an organic functional molecule of p-phenylenediamine is embedded into two-dimensional (2D) layered TiO2 as the electrode for LIB. Then, the 2D carbon/TiO2 composites with the tuning defects are prepared by precise control of the polymerization and carbothermal atmospheres. Low valence titanium in metal oxide and nitrogen-doped carbon nanosheets can be obtained in the carbon/TiO2 composite under a carbonization treatment atmosphere of N2/H2 gas, which can not only increase the electronic conductivity of the material but also provide sufficient electrochemical active sites, thus producing an excellent rate capability and long-term cycle stability. The prepared composite can provide a high capacity of 396.0 mAh g−1 at a current density of 0.1 A g−1 with a high capacitive capacity ratio. Moreover, a high specific capacity of 80.0 mAh g−1 with retention rate of 85% remains after 10,000 cycles at 3.0 A g−1 as well as the Coulomb efficiency close to 100%. The good rate-capability and cycle-sustainability of the layered materials are ascribed to the increase of conductivity, the lithium-ion transport channel, and interfacial capacitance due to the multi-defect sites in the layered composite.

Abstract
A series of covalent triazine frameworks (CTFs) are prepared via ionothermal synthesis for supercapacitors. Due to the feature of adjustable pore structure and rich nitrogen, CTFs with regular structure can be used as a group of model compounds to further investigate the influence of pore size and heteroatom on supercapacitors. By comparing the performance of CTFs with different pore structures and nitrogen contents, the experimental results show that BPY-CTF with high specific surface area of 2278 m2 g-1, mesopores structure, and suitable nitrogen content displays a specific capacitance of 393.6 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1. According to the results and analysis, the existence of mesopores largely enhance the contact area between the electrode material and electrolyte, and then boost the charge transfer. On the other hand, N-doping has a prominent effect on improving the Faradaic pseudo-capacitance and conductivity for CTF electrode materials. This work will inspire further research on the development of highly efficient electrode materials for energy storage devices.

Abstract
In this work, a two-dimensional heterostructure of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) and nickelhydroxyloxide (NiOOH) nanosheets supported on catkin-derived mesoporous carbon (C-MC) was constructed and exploited as an efficient electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. The C-MC nanostructure was prepared by pyrolyzing biomass material of catkin at 600 °C in N2 atmosphere. The C-MC network exhibited hollow nanotube structure and had a large specific surface area, comprising trace nitrogen and a large amount of oxygen vacancies. It further served as the support for the growth of NiOOH nanosheets (NiOOH@C-MC), which was combined with MoS2 nanosheets by in situ growth, yielding a multicomponent electrocatalyst (MoS2@NiOOH@C-MC). By integrating the superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance of MoS2, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of NiOOH, and the fast electron transfer capability of C-MC, the prepared MoS2@NiOOH@C-MC illustrated a low potential of - 250 mV for HER and 1.51 V for OER at the current density of 10 mV cm-2. Consequently, when applied as the working electrode for driving overall water splitting in a two-electrode system, the bifunctional MoS2@NiOOH@C-MC electrocatalyst displayed a low cell voltage of 1.62 V at the current density of 10 mA cm-2. The present work provides a new strategy that uses biomass material for developing bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Abstract
The evolution of cost-effective hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts is of great significance for the development of clean energy. Exploring effective synthesis strategies to optimize the performance of non-noble metal electrocatalysts has always attracted our attention. Herein, ultrathin coordination polymers were used as precursors to controllably synthesize two-dimensional (2D) ultrathin dual-phase transition metal selenide (TMSs)/carbon-nitrogen (CN) composites (CoSe2-NiSe2/CN) by a two-step method (first a low temperature hydrothermal method for selenization, and then high temperature calcination selenization). Benefiting from its large specific surface area (49 m2 g-1), abundant catalytically active sites and synergistic effects, CoSe2-NiSe2/CN can significantly enhance the HER catalytic activity and exhibits good electrocatalytic activity with an overpotential of 150 mV at -10 mA cm-2, and a small Tafel slope of 42 mV dec-1 in an acidic electrolyte for the HER. This work provides a new strategy for optimizing the HER catalytic activity of TMSs by preparing 2D ultrathin dual-phase TMS composite materials.

Abstract
Although nonprecious metal catalysts based on earth-abundant 3d transition metals (TMs) are regarded as promising substitutes for a noble metal electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), their large-scale application is still inhibited by their inadequate activity and durability. Here, a facile method for nonprecious metal catalysts has been developed to prepare molybdenum carbide on nitrogen-doped carbon. By optimizing the Ni doping ratio, the Ni0.5@MoCx/NC exhibits the lowest overpotential for 10 mA cm-2 and superior stability in both acidic and alkaline media for HER application, outperforming most of the reported HER electrocatalysts. In addition, a theoretical simulation has also confirmed the possible mechanism for the synergistic effect with the regulative adsorption energy of hydrogen species with Ni doping and formation of a Mo2C/MoC heterojunction in the Ni0.5@MoCx/NC electrocatalyst. Therefore, this work provides a new avenue for designing two-dimensional nanostructures with an optimized electronic structure for promising TM HER electrocatalysts in a wide pH range.

Abstract
Molybdenum carbide (Mox C)-based nanomaterials have shown competitive performances for energy conversion applications based on their unique physicochemical properties. A large surface area and proper surface atomic configuration are essential to explore potentiality of Mox C in electrochemical applications. Although considerable efforts are made on the development of advanced Mox C-based catalysts for energy conversion with high efficiency and stability, some urgent issues, such as low electronic conductivity, low catalytic efficiency, and structural instability, have to be resolved in accordance with their application environments. Surface and interface engineering have shown bright prospects to construct highly efficient Mox C-based electrocatalysts for energy conversion including the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, nitrogen reduction reaction, and carbon dioxide reduction reaction. In this Review, the recent progresses in terms of surface and interface engineering of Mox C-based electrocatalytic materials are summarized, including the increased number of active sites by decreasing the particle size or introducing porous or hierarchical structures and surface modification by introducing heteroatom(s), defects, carbon materials, and others electronic conductive species. Finally, the challenges and prospects for energy conversion on Mox C-based nanomaterials are discussed in terms of key performance parameters for the catalytic performance.

Abstract
Designing an excellent acidic and alkaline general-purpose hydrogen evolution electrocatalyst plays an important role in promoting the development of the energy field. Here, a feasible strategy is reported to use the strongly coupled MoS2@sulfur and molybdenum co-doped g-C3N4 (MoS2@Mo-S-C3N4) heterostructure with transferable active centers for catalytic reactions in acidic and alkaline media. Research studies have shown that the unsaturated S site at the edge of MoS2 and the active N atom on the Mo-S-C3N4 substrate are, respectively, the active centers of acidic and alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. Specifically, Mo-S-C3N4 is regarded as a synergistic catalyst for the active species MoS2 in acidic hydrogen evolution, while MoS2 acts as a co-catalyst when the alkaline active species are transferred to Mo-S-C3N4. The coordination of the electrons between the interfaces achieves a synergistic balance, which provides the optimal sites for the adsorption of the reactants. Such an electrocatalyst exhibits overpotentials of 193 and 290 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M KOH, respectively, which was better than numerous previous reports. This research provides an outstanding avenue to realize multifunctional electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The synthesis of competitive, affordable and sustainable electrocatalysts via simple and scalable methods is highly desirable for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Usually, expensive, complex, time-consuming methods are applied to prepared suitable electrocatalysts for the OER. In contrast, a single-step thermal method is simple and inexpensive. Nickel and iron-based composite materials are potential candidates as OER catalysts. Accordingly, herein, Se-doped Fe2O3-decorated Ni/NiO particles on carbon cloth (Se-Fe2O3@Ni/NiO/CC) were synthesized via a facile and scalable one-step thermal method. The individual Se-Fe2O3@Ni/NiO particles were accommodated in holes in the carbon fibers of CC. The optimized Se-Fe2O3@Ni/NiO/CC-2 sample exhibited an outstanding OER performance with an overpotential of 205 mV at the current density 10 mA cm-2, small Tafel slope of 36 mV dec-1, and good stability in 1.0 M KOH electrolyte. The outstanding catalytic performance was mainly attributed to the heterointerfaces between Se-Fe2O3 and Se-Ni/NiO. Moreover, the accommodation of the Se-Fe2O3@Ni/NiO particles in the holes of CC restricted the aggregation of the particles, and CC provided a conductive substrate for the OER process. Thus, this work provides a simple, scalable and effective strategy for designing and engineering of outstanding electrocatalysts for the OER.

Abstract
The development of efficient, stable and low-cost electrocatalysts for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is critical for large-scale, economically viable water splitting. In this work, we successfully prepared non-precious metal CoB@MoS2 hybrid electrocatalysts for the HER in alkaline media by the reductive growth of cobalt boride nanoparticles (CoB NPs) on the surface of MoS2 nanoflowers (MoS2 NFs). The CoB@MoS2-0.5-300 hybrid showed an HER overpotential of only 146 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 80.9 mV dec-1 in 1.0 M KOH solution. The significantly enhanced HER activity of the hybrid is primarily attributable to the ability of CoB to drive the OER in alkaline solution and improved electrical conductivity of the hybrid electrocatalyst relative to the pristine MoS2. Furthermore, the synthetic strategy used to prepare the CoB@MoS2 electrocatalyst was successfully applied to prepare NiB@MoS2 and FeB@MoS2 hybrid electrocatalysts, which similarly showed very good HER activity in 1.0 M KOH solution. Thus, this work conclusively demonstrates that the introduction of transition metal borides is an effective approach for enhancing the HER performance of MoS2 in alkaline media.

Abstract
A facile method for the preparation of microwave absorbers with low density, high microwave absorptivity, and broad band is of paramount importance to the progress in practical application. Herein, commonly-used metal organic frameworks (MOFs) prepared just by mechanical stirring in methanol at room temperature were chosen as sacrificial templates to synthesize porous carbon composites with tunable dielectric and magnetic properties. With the replacement of Co atoms on the surface of zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) by Zn atoms, a Co-doped porous carbon composite with a low-dielectric amorphous carbon/Zn shell was constructed after annealing, leading to excellent impedance matching condition. Consequently, the as-obtained composite (Co/C@C-800) shows marvelous microwave absorption properties with an absorption capacity of -43.97 dB and a corresponding effective absorption bandwidth of 4.1 GHz, far exceeding that of the traditional porous carbon and composites directly derived from ZIF-67. The results provide a convenient way to modify MOFs for enhanced microwave absorption materials from the synergy of dielectric and magnetic losses.

Abstract
Although the bimetal sulfide is intensively pursued in catalytic systems, synthesis of ultrafine sized bimetal sulfide Janus subunits is still a great challenge. In this work, ultrafine NiS2/MoS2 Janus subunits organized on yolk-shell nanospheres (NSs) are synthesized by a novel and facile approach. The greatly reduced particle size of both two-dimensional MoS2 and one-dimensional NiS2 on the ultrafine NiS2/MoS2 Janus subunits endows the yolk-shell NSs with numerous intimate interfaces of bimetal sulfide hybrids greatly promoting the intimate electronic interaction and dissociation of water molecules. Benefiting from the ultrafine NiS2/MoS2 Janus subunits, abundant edge sites and the high density of interfaces, the as-prepared NiS2/MoS2 yolk-shell NSs exhibit high electrocatalytic activity with a low η10 value of 135 and 293 mV for the HER and OER, respectively. In addition, a low cell voltage (1.58 V) is achieved by using NiS2/MoS2 yolk-shell NSs as both anode and cathode. This study has significant indications in exploring the ultrafine nanoparticles for the water splitting reaction, fuel cells and organic synthesis.

Abstract
In the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), energy-level matching is a prerequisite for excellent electrocatalytic activity. Conventional strategies such as chemical doping and the incorporation of defects underscore the complicated process of controlling the doping species and the defect concentration, which obstructs the understanding of the function of band structure in HER catalysis. Accordingly, 2H-MoS2 and 1T-MoS2 are used to create electrocatalytic nanodevices to address the function of band structure in HER catalysis. Interestingly, it is found that the 2H-MoS2 with modulated Fermi level under the application of a vertical electric field exhibits excellent electrocatalytic activity (as evidenced by an overpotential of 74 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a Tafel slope of 99 mV per decade), which is superior to 1T-MoS2 . This unexpected excellent HER performance is ascribed to the fact that electrons are injected into the conduction band under the condition of back-gate voltage, which leads to the increased Fermi level of 2H-MoS2 and a shorter Debye screen length. Hence, the required energy to drive electrons from the electrocatalyst surface to reactant will decrease, which activates the 2H-MoS2 thermodynamically.
