Tuning the Hydrogen Evolution Performance of Metallic 2D Tantalum Disulfide by Interfacial Engineering

Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides, such as tantalum disulfide (TaS2), have recently emerged as promising electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. This work reports an effective strategy to further tune their performance through interfacial engineering, including lattice mismatch and electron injection between electrocatalysts and the underlying substrates. A unique two-zone chemical vapor deposition technique has been...
