Advances in Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution from TMD-based Heterostructured Materials
Pt-based catalysts have shown excellent catalytic performances in the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER).But,their high price and low earth reserves have limited the commercial application.Currently,Heterostructures based on transition metal dichalcogenides(TMDs)exhibit outstanding HER performances due to the interfacial interactions,and have been considered as an ideal replacement for noble metal catalysts.Based on the above background,this paper reviewed the latest research progress of TMD-based heterostructures under acidic,alkaline and full pH conditions.We also focused on the construction ideas,preparation methods,and strategies for improving HER activity of various TMD-based heterostructures.Finally,the mechanisms underlying the excellent performance of TMD-based heterostructures are summarized and the future trends of these catalysts are discussed.
