Directly anchoring non-noble metal single atoms on 1T-TMDs with tip structure for efficient hydrogen evolution

Owing to tip effect can introduce localized enhanced electric field and reduce interfacial energy barrier, design of atomic tip structure in single-atom catalysts (SACs) may be a fascinating strategy to further improve its electrocatalytic activity. However, conventional synthesis methods, such as defect-trapping or substitution, only lead to the formation of planar geometry of SACs without tip atoms. Good conductive 1T-TMDs with...
