Identification of active edge sites for electrochemical H2 evolution from MoS2 nanocatalysts.

TL;DR: The active site for hydrogen evolution, a reaction catalyzed by precious metals, on nanoparticulate molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is determined by atomically resolving the surface of this catalyst before measuring electrochemical activity in solution.

Biomimetic Hydrogen Evolution: MoS2 Nanoparticles as Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution

TL;DR: The ability of different metal surfaces and of the enzymes nitrogenase and hydrogenase to catalyze the hydrogen evolution reaction is analyzed and a necessary criterion for high catalytic activity is found: that the binding free energy of atomic hydrogen to the catalyst is close to zero.

Computational high-throughput screening of electrocatalytic materials for hydrogen evolution

TL;DR: A density functional theory-based, high-throughput screening scheme that successfully uses these strategies to identify a new electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), which is found to have a predicted activity comparable to, or even better than, pure Pt, the archetypical HER catalyst.
