Photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)is taken into account as an alternative to effec-tive hydrogen production,emphasizing the importance of catalysts.The magnetism of catalysts could modulate the adsorption of the H atom and further enhance the HER activity.Herein,doping the double transition metal atoms on SnS2 nanosheet(TM2@SnS2)to form the efficient magnetic catalyst is proposed to explore the spin magnetic effect on the HER performance.By performing first-principles calculations,nonmagnetic V2@SnS2 is proved to be the candidate of the HER catalyst;nevertheless,the HER activities of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic V2@SnS2 are relatively inferior due to the spin-induced charge redistribution.Meanwhile,machine learning analysis shows the absolute importance of the electronic structure of TM dopants and surrounding S ligands,and the HER activity could be predicted by the mod-ified band centers of S-3pz and TM-d.Furthermore,the proof-of-concept experiment has substantiated the above theoretical predictions by significantly increasing liner sweep voltammetry and photocurrent with applied magnetic field.This work provides a new avenue for uncovering the spin catalytic mecha-nism and the exploration and design of efficient HER catalysts.
