Abstract

Thanks to the increase in the number of active sites and enhanced conductivity, the Se-doped MoS₂ shows excellent catalytic activity with a lower overpotential of −140 mV and a smaller Tafel slope of 55 mV dec⁻¹, exhibiting enhanced catalytic performance compared with that of pristine MoS₂. This work offers an attractive strategy to improve the HER activity of MoS₂-based catalysts.
