Abstract
Efficient hydrogen generation from water splitting underpins chemistry to realize hydrogen economy. The electrocatalytic activity can be effectively modified by two-dimensional (2D) heterostructures, which offer great flexibility. Furthermore, they are useful in enhancing the exposure of the active sites for the hydrogen evolution reaction. Although the 1T-metallic phase of the transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) is important for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalyst, its practical application has not yet been much utilized because of the lack of stability of the 1T phase. Here, we introduce a novel approach to create a 1T-WS2/1T-WSe2 heterostructure using a low-temperature plasma-assisted chemical vapor reaction (PACVR), namely plasma-assisted sulfurization and plasma-assisted selenization processes. This heterostructure exhibits superior electrocatalytic performance due to the presence of the metallic 1T phase and the beneficial synergistic effect at the interface, which is attributed to the transfer of electrons from the underlying WS2 layer to the overlying WSe2 layer. The WS2/WSe2 heterostructure catalyst demonstrates remarkable performance in the HER as evidenced by its small Tafel slope of 57 mV dec-1 and exceptional durability. The usage of plasma helps in replacing the top S atoms with Se atoms, and this ion bombardment also increases the roughness of the thin film, thus adding another factor to enhance the HER performance. This plasma-synthesized low-temperature metallic-phase heterostructure brings out a novel method for the discovery of other catalysts.

Abstract
Electrochemical water splitting, a crucial reaction for renewable energy storage, demands highly efficient and stable catalysts. Defect and interface engineering has been widely acknowledged to play a pivotal role in improving electrocatalytic performance. Herein, we demonstrate a facile strategy to construct sulfur vacancy (Sv)-engineered Co3S4/MoS2-interfaced nanosheet arrays to modulate the interface electronic structure in situ reduction with NaBH4. The abundant sulfur vacancies and well-arranged nanosheet arrays in Sv-Co3S4/MoS2 lead to pronounced electrocatalytic properties for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) in an alkaline medium, with observed overpotentials of 156 and 209 mV at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Additionally, as a bifunctional electrocatalyst, Sv-Co3S4/MoS2 requires a cell voltage of 1.67 V at 10 mA cm-2 for overall water splitting and exhibits long-term stability with activity sustained for more than 20 h. This study provides a novel approach to producing transition metal compound-interfaced electrocatalysts with rich vacancies under mild conditions, showcasing their potential for efficient water splitting applications.

Abstract
Integrating the nitrate reduction reaction (NO3RR) with polyethylene terephthalate (PET) hydrolysate oxidation to construct the nitrate/PET hydrolysate coelectrolysis system holds a great promise of realizing the simultaneous upcycling of nitrate wastewater and PET plastic waste, which, however, is still an almost untouched research area. Herein, we develop an ultralow content of Ru-incorporated Co-based metal-organic frameworks as a bifunctional precatalyst, which can be in situ reconstructed to Ru-Co(OH)2 at the cathode and Ru-CoOOH at the anode under electrocatalytic environments, and function as real active catalysts for the NO3RR and PET hydrolysate oxidation, respectively. With a two-electrode nitrate/PET hydrolysate coelectrolysis system, the current density of 50 mA cm-2 is achieved at a cell voltage of only 1.53 V, realizing the simultaneous production of ammonia and formate at a lower energy consumption. This study provides a concept for the construction of coelectrolysis systems for upcycling of nitrate wastewater and PET plastic waste.

Abstract
Developing efficient and stable non-noble metal catalysts for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is of great significance. MoS2 has become a promising alternative to replace Pt-based electrocatalysts due to its unique layered structure and adjustable electronic property. However, most of the reported 2H-MoS2 materials are stable, but the catalytic activity is not very ideal. Therefore, a series of strategies such as phase modulation, element doping, defect engineering, and composite modification have been developed to improve the catalytic performance of MoS2 in the HER. Among them, phase engineering of 2H-MoS2 to 1T-MoS2 is considered to be the most effective strategy for regulating electronic properties and increasing active sites. Hence, in this mini-review, the common phase modulation strategies, characterization methods, and application of 1T-MoS2 in the HER were systematically summarized. In addition, some challenges and future directions are also proposed for the design of efficient and stable 1T-MoS2 HER catalysts. We hope this mini-review will be helpful to researchers currently working in or about to enter the field.

Abstract
The design and construction of bifunctional electrocatalysts with high activity and durability is essential for overall water splitting. Herein, a unique 3D hierarchical NiMo3S4 nanoflowers with abundant defects and reactive sites were grown directly on carbon textiles (NiMo3S4/CTs) using a facile hydrothermal synthesis method. The defect-rich NiMo3S4 nanoflakes, prepared by doping Ni2+ in the lattice of Mo-S, displays extended d-spacing of (002) crystal plane, resulting in the electrocatalytic activity of hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reaction (HER and OER) was improved under alkaline conditions. The self-supported NiMo3S4/CTs electrode delivers a small overpotential of 149.5 mV for HER and 126.2 mV for OER at 10 mA cm-2, respectively. Based on detailed structure analysis and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the excellent HER and OER activities can be attributed to the unique structure of the nanoflowers, where the metallic characteristics for Ni-doped Mo-S lead to the enhancement of intrinsic conductivity and the rich abundance of Ni3+ active sites. As a result, the NiMo3S4/CTs as efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water-splitting was performed in alkaline electrolyte, where the system required only 1.55, 1.66 and 1.76 V to deliver current densities of 10, 50 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively. This study provides a new method for improving the electrocatalysis properties of transition metal sulfides by metal-ion doping to generate more active defect sites, thus promoting the development of non-noble-metal electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
The development of non-noble metal catalysts for hydrogen revolution in alkaline media is highly desirable, but remains a great challenge. Herein, synergetic ultrathin NiO/MoS2 catalysts were prepared to improve the sluggish water dissociation step for HER in alkaline conditions. With traditional electrode assembly methods, MoS2:NiO-3:1 exhibited the best catalytic performance; an overpotential of 158 mV was required to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm2. Further, a synergetic ultrathin NiO/MoS2/nickel foam (NF) electrode was assembled by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) and post-processing reactions. The electrode displayed higher electrocatalytic ability and stability, and an overpotential of only 121 mV was needed to achieve a current density of 10 mA/cm2. The improvement was ascribed to the better catalytic environment, rather than a larger active surface area, a higher density of exposed active sites or other factors. DFT calculations indicated that the hybrid NiO/MoS2 heterostuctured interface is advantageous for the enhanced water dissociation step and the corresponding lower kinetic energy barrier—from 1.53 to 0.81 eV.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting, as one of the most promising methods to store renewable energy generated by intermittent sources, such as solar and wind energy, has attracted tremendous attention in recent years. Developing efficient, robust, and green catalysts for the hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) is of great interest. This study concerns a facile and green approach for producing RuNi/RuNi oxide nanoheterostructures by controllable partial oxidation of RuNi nanoalloy, which is characterized and confirmed by various techniques, including high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and synchrotron-based X-ray absorption spectroscopy. This nanoheterostructure demonstrates outstanding bifunctional activities for catalyzing the HER and OER with overpotentials that are both among the lowest reported values. In a practical alkali-water-splitting electrolyzer, it also achieves a record-low cell voltage of 1.42 V at 10 mA cm-2 , which is significantly superior to the commercial RuO2 //Pt/C couple and other reported bifunctional water-splitting electrocatalysts. Density functional theory calculations are employed to elaborate the effect of Ni incorporation. This simple catalyst preparation approach is expected to be transferrable to other electrocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
2D MoS2 nanostructures have recently attracted considerable attention because of their outstanding electrocatalytic properties. The synthesis of unique Co-Ru-MoS2 hybrid nanosheets with excellent catalytic activity toward overall water splitting in alkaline solution is reported. 1T' phase MoS2 nanosheets are doped homogeneously with Co atoms and decorated with Ru nanoparticles. The catalytic performance of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is characterized by low overpotentials of 52 and 308 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and Tafel slopes of 55 and 50 mV decade-1 in 1.0 m KOH, respectively. Analysis of X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectra of the catalysts show that the MoS2 well retained its metallic 1T' phase, which guarantees good electrical conductivity during the reaction. The Gibbs free energy calculation for the reaction pathway in alkaline electrolyte confirms that the Ru nanoparticles on the Co-doped MoS2 greatly enhance the HER activity. Water adsorption and dissociation take place favorably on the Ru, and the doped Co further catalyzes HER by making the reaction intermediates more favorable. The high OER performance is attributed to the catalytically active RuO2 nanoparticles that are produced via oxidation of Ru nanoparticles.

Abstract
Designing and constructing bifunctional electrocatalysts is vital for water splitting. Particularly, the rational interface engineering can effectively modify the active sites and promote the electronic transfer, leading to the improved splitting efficiency. Herein, free-standing and defect-rich heterogeneous MoS2/NiS2 nanosheets for overall water splitting are designed. The abundant heterogeneous interfaces in MoS2/NiS2 can not only provide rich electroactive sites but also facilitate the electron transfer, which further cooperate synergistically toward electrocatalytic reactions. Consequently, the optimal MoS2/NiS2 nanosheets show the enhanced electrocatalytic performances as bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting. This study may open up a new route for rationally constructing heterogeneous interfaces to maximize their electrochemical performances, which may help to accelerate the development of nonprecious electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.

Abstract
Metallic 1T-phase transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are of considerable interest in enhancing catalytic applications due to their abundant active sites and good conductivity. However, the unstable nature of 1T-phase TMDs greatly impedes their practical applications. Herein, we developed a new approach for the synthesis of highly stable 1T-phase Au/Pd-MoS2 nanosheets (NSs) through a metal assembly induced ultrastable phase transition for achieving a very high electrocatalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction. The phase transition was evoked by a novel mechanism of lattice-mismatch-induced strain based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to confirm the phase transition on experimental grounds. A novel heterostructured 1T MoS2-Au/Pd catalyst was designed and synthesized using this mechanism, and the catalyst exhibited a 0 mV onset potential in the hydrogen evolution reaction under light illumination. Therefore, this method can potentially be used to fabricate 1T-phase TMDs with remarkably enhanced activities for different applications.
