Abundant electrochemical active sites, high electronic conductivity as well as stable structure and electrochemical activity are indispensable but usually incompatible to the ideal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, an efficient and stable MoS 2 -Ti 3 C 2 MXene electrocatalyst is synthesized using a delicately designed one-step hydrothermal method, in which the few-layers thick, edge-oriented, high-percentage 1T′-phase (∼ 85.0 %) MoS 2 nanosheets are well grown on the cation-modified Ti 3 C 2 MXene and stabilize Ti 3 C 2 MXene against spontaneous oxidation caused by dissolved-oxygen. The structure and phase engineering of MoS 2 as well as the fully surface-shielding Ti 3 C 2 MXene endow the as-synthesized MoS 2 -Ti 3 C 2 MXene electrocatalyst with a wealth of accessible active sites and high electrical conductivity for HER together with excellent structure stability. Consequently, the as-synthesized MoS 2 -Ti 3 C 2 MXene exhibits remarkable electrocatalytic HER performance in acidic medium with a low overpotential of 98 mV at 10 mA cm -2 , a depressed Tafel slope of 45 mV dec -1 and a low electrochemical resistance.

Metallic 1T MoS 2 greatly benefits the supercapacitance of MoS 2 due to its considerably higher conductivity as compared to semiconducting 2H MoS 2 . Alkali metals, such as Li, Na and K, are always used to prepare 1T MoS 2 through intercalation of alkali metal ions into the interlayer of 2H MoS 2 . Nevertheless, the influences of the alkali-earth metals as the guest in the interlayer of MoS 2 on its structure and electrochemical capacitor performance are rarely investigated. Herein, we introduced hydrated Mg ions as the guest into MoS 2 nanosheets. The interlayer spacing was increased to 1.144 nm after the introduction of hydrated Mg ions, larger than that of the pristine MoS 2 (0.620 nm) and restacking MoS 2 (0.626 nm). The enlarged interlayer spacing can accommodate more ions during intercalation process. Moreover, the 1T phase concentration after the introduction of hydrated Mg ions was as high as ~ 90%, which benefits the charge transfer during the charging/discharging processes. Consequently, the specific capacitance of the MoS 2 with Mg guest ions as well as the energy densities and power densities was greatly improved as compared to those of the restacking MoS 2 or pristine MoS 2 counterparts. The present work not only demonstrated a new strategy for engineering the physical properties and improving the electrochemical performance of MoS 2 supercapacitor electrode through pre-intercalation of alkali-earth metal ions in the interlayer of MoS 2 , but also has directive significance for the design of other layered electrode materials for energy storage systems.

Two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (2D MoS 2 ) is considered as a promising candidate for many applications due to its unique structure and properties. However, the controllable synthesis of large-scale and high-quality 2D 1T-phase MoS 2 is still a challenge. Herein, we present the scalable and controllable synthesis of 2D MoS 2 from 2H to 1T@2H phase by using K 2 SO 4 salt as a simultaneous high-temperature sulfur source and template. The as-synthesized 1T@2H-2D MoS 2 exhibits a high yield and can be easily assembled into freestanding electrode with high specific capacitance of 434 F/g at a scan rate of 1 mV/s in LiClO 4 ethylene carbonate/dimethyl carbonate (EC/DMC). Moreover, various single-crystal 2D transition metal sulfides (WS 2 , PbS, MnS and Ni 9 S 8 ) and 2D S-doped carbon can be synthesized using this method. We believe that this study may provide a new sight for scalable and controllable synthesis of other 2D materials beyond 2D MoS 2 .

Hydrogen (H2) is an environment-friendly clean energy. In recent years, novel hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts have attracted extensive attention in the scientific community. In this work, the conversion of 2H phase tungsten selenide (2H-WSe2) into 1T phase tungsten selenide (1T-WSe2) was induced by 1 MeV electron irradiation to improve its electrocatalytic performance. When the irradiation fluence is 5 × 1014 e/cm2, the minimum initial overpotential of WSe2 is 101 mV lower than the initial overpotential of WSe2 without irradiation. This method has the characteristics for a simple process and mass production. At the same time, the atomic structure of WSe2 was characterized and the 1T properties of WSe2 were confirmed. The experimental results show that 1 MeV electron irradiates WSe2 to produce Se vacancies on the base surface to form 1T-WSe2, which is the main reason for improving its performance. This effective and feasible electron irradiation method provides a new strategy for the controllable acquisition of 1T-WSe2 and a new method for other similar materials to introduce the ideal 1T phase.

Implanting the octahedral phase (1 T) into the hexagonal phase (2H) of the molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) matrix is considered one of the effective methods to enhance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performances of MoS 2 . In this paper, hybrid 1 T/2H MoS 2 nanosheets array was successfully grown on conductive carbon cloth (1 T/2H MoS 2 /CC) via facile hydrothermal method and the 1 T phase content in 1 T/2H MoS 2 is regulated to gradually increase from 0 % to 80 %. 1 T/2H MoS 2 /CC with 75 % 1 T phase content exhibits optimal HER performances. The DFT calculation results show that S atoms in 1 T/2H MoS 2 interface exhibit the lowest hydrogen adsorption Gibbs free energies (ΔG H* ) compared with other sites. The improvement of HER performances are primarily attributed to activating the in-plane interface regions of the hybrid 1 T/2H MoS 2 nanosheets. Furthermore, the relationship between 1 T MoS 2 content in 1 T/2H MoS 2 and catalytic activity was simulated by a mathematical model, which shows that the catalytic activity presents a trend of increasing and then decreasing with the increase of 1 T phase content.

The rational design and synthesis of electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remain great challenges. Herein, cubic RuSe2 (c-RuSe2) electrocatalysts with different 1T phase ratios (ranging from 20.53% to 64.97%) and crystallinities (ranging from 1.72% to 89.10%) were developed by a fast and efficient microwave-assisted synthesis method. Remarkably, the c-RuSe2 calcined at 500 °C (RuSe2-500) with 45.46% 1T phase and 86.75% crystallinity exhibited a small overpotential of 29 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 64 mV dec−1, close to the commercial Pt/C (31 mV, 53 mV dec−1) and better than most of the reported materials. The enhanced performance of RuSe2-500 could be attributed to the crystallinity, and the 1T phase content reached a certain equilibrium at 500 °C. Moreover, RuSe2-500 had the smallest charge transfer resistance, mainly due to its abundant active centers and excellent conductivity brought by the 1T phase, which were in favor of the HER kinetics and catalytic performance. This study explored the relationship between the ratio of the 1T phase and crystallinity in c-RuSe2, and gives a new pathway to improve the activity by synergistic regulation.

Hydrodesulfurization (HDS) is a commonly used route for producing clean fuels in modern refinery. Herein, ammonium/amine-intercalated MoS 2 catalysts with various content of 1T phase and S vacancies have been successfully synthesized. Along with the increment of 1T phase and S vacancies of MoS 2 , the initial reaction rate of the HDS of dibenzothiophene (DBT) can be improved from 0.09 to 0.55 μmol·g cat −1 ·s −1 , accounting for a remarkable activity compared to the-state-of-the-art catalysts. In a combinatory study via the activity evaluation and catalysts characterization, we found that the intercalation species of MoS 2 played a key role in generating more 1T phase and S vacancies through the ‘intercalation-deintercalation’ processes, and the hydrogenation and desulfurization of HDS can be significantly promoted by 1T phase and S vacancies on MoS 2 , respectively. This study provides a practically meaningful guidance for developing more advanced HDS catalysts by the intercalated MoS 2 -derived materials with an in-depth understanding of structure-function relationships.

MoS 2 is an attractive electrochemical sensing electrode material for the detection of biomolecule because of its adjustable band gap, large surface area, and unique electrochemical characteristics. However, the poor catalytic and electrical conductivity of the semiconductor 2H-phase MoS 2 and the phenomenon of restacking during electrochemical use hinder its sensing application. Herein, electron injection engineering is employed for the formation and stabilization of high-concentration metal 1T-phase MoS 2 nanosheets on ionic liquid-functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs-IL). The increase of MoS 2 concentration in the metal 1T phase significantly accelerates electron transfer kinetics. The in-situ growth method results in a tightly interfaced coupling effect, thereby substantially shortening the electron transport pathway and decreasing interfacial transmission impedance. In addition, the sulfur defects on the surface of MoS 2 as the anchoring point of sulfhydryl groups promote the enrichment of thiols on the surface of the material and reduce the reaction barrier for sulfhydryl oxidation, thereby improving the catalytic performance. The prepared CNTs-IL-MoS 2 /SPE biosensor shows excellent l -cysteine sensing performance by electrochemical detection.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) has been considered to be a promising electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Incorporation of 1 T phase is a strategy to allow basal planes of MoS 2 nanosheets simultaneously possess highly active catalytic sites and metallic property. This strategy requires as many basal planes as possible to be exposed to the surface, thus enabling the active sites on the basal planes to participate in the catalytic reaction. Herein, we report a porous ultra-thin 1 T phase MoS 2 (1 T-MoS 2 ) nanosheets prepared by a SiO 2 nanospheres template method. Ultra-thin MoS 2 nanosheets grow laterally around the surface of SiO 2 nanospheres. After etching SiO 2 , the rest porous ultra-thin MoS 2 nanosheets ensure the maximized exposure of basal plane active sites. In addition, the metallic porous structure can also facilitate transport of mass in holes and transfer of electron on basal planes. The synergistic effect of these aspects endows our sample with improved hydrogen evolution capability. The onset overpotential at 1 mA/cm 2 is 131 mV, and the corresponding Tafel slope is 63 mV/dec.

Piezocatalysis is a promising technology to address environmental pollution by converting mechanical energy into chemical energy. Herein, MoSe2 nanosheets with different 1T phase percentages (ranging from 30 to 80%) were constructed by adjusting hydrothermal temperature. Moreover, the roles of phase engineering in the piezocatalysis were thoroughly investigated by degrading rhodamine B and reducing Cr(VI) in ultrasonic vibration conditions. In particular, MoSe2 prepared at 220 °C (MoSe2-220) exhibits ultrahigh observed constant kobs and degradation rate k, which is superior to most reported catalysts to date. The experimental results indicate that the introduction of the 1T phase increases the active sites of the material, improves the conductivity, and inhibits the recombination of electrons and holes. Moreover, an internal electric field in the 2H phase induced by piezoelectric polarization is facilitated to separate electron–hole pairs, enabling the degradation and reduction to proceed. The capture experiments and EPR tests further confirm that •O2– and •OH are main reactive species, and a rational mechanism is finally put forward. This study offers a clear understanding of phase engineering in piezocatalysis and provides an efficiency strategy to construct highly efficient piezocatalysts.

Iridium (Ir) - based electrocatalysts, as the benchmark electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER), still suffer from sluggish kinetics and substantial overpotential. Here we show the fabrication of heterophase IrO 2 catalysts with homogeneous distribution of rutile phase on 1 T phase (referred to as m-IrO 2 ) by a simple air-annealing method. In acidic condition, the m-IrO 2 catalyst exhibits high activity with a low overpotential of 170 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and good stability with no sign of deactivation over a prolonged 508-h continuous operation, making it one of the best-performing acid-stable OER catalysts. In this system, H 2 O first forms OH* and O* on the rutile phase, and then the interfacial oxygen migrates from the rutile phase to the 1 T phase. Subsequently, O* drives the OER reaction on the 1 T phase, resulting in the generation of OOH* and eventually the formation of O 2 . The interfacial oxygen migration within the heterophase structure of m-IrO 2 boosts the acidic water oxidation activity significantly. These findings provide a promising design strategy for creating high-activity catalysts suitable for acidic conditions through the manipulation of interfaces.

Potassium-ion batteries (PIBs) offer a promising alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundant storage and low cost of potassium. However, they still suffer from severe volume expansion and sluggish kinetics. Herein, a supercritical CO 2 (SC CO 2 )-assisted strategy is employed to fabricate MoS 2 @CNT composites with enhanced electrochemical performance. The SC CO 2 process exfoliates bulk MoS 2 into ultrathin nanosheets and simultaneously anchors them onto single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), forming a stable 3D conductive network. One step further, this method concurrently induces a partial phase transition of MoS 2 from the semiconducting 2H phase to the metallic 1 T phase, significantly improving electrical conductivity and ion transport. The MoS 2 @CNT/20 MPa composite demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 706.89 mA h g −1 at 0.1 A g −1 and retains 380.10 mA h g −1 at 2.0 A g −1 . Kinetic analysis reveals predominantly capacitive K + storage behavior, while ex situ characterizations after 100 cycles confirm the structural stability and the stable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). This study highlights the synergistic effects of SC CO 2 exfoliation and SWCNT hybridization, offering a scalable and environmentally friendly approach for designing high-performance anode materials for next-generation PIBs.
