Electrochemical generation of sulfur vacancies in the basal plane of MoS2 for hydrogen evolution

In order to fully utilize sulfur vacancies in MoS2 catalysts for industrial applications, a facile and general route for making sulfur vacancies in MoS2 is needed. Here, the authors introduce a scalable route towards generating sulfur vacancies on the MoS2basal plane using electrochemical desulfuriz...
