The 2H phase MoSe2 of high chemical stability and excellent catalytic activity is a promising catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) as a potential candidate, due to its low cost, high efficiency and abundant production. However, the HER catalytic efficiency of MoSe2 largely depends on the activity of reaction sites including the basal plane and the edges, and remains low because only the Mo edge sites are active. Herein, we have calculated the structural stability, catalytic activity, and strain engineering on sulfur substituted MoSe2 catalytic structures (Mo(Se1–xSx)2) by density functional theory. The results demonstrate that most of Mo(Se1–xSx)2 monolayers are thermodynamically stable and the HER activity of the Mo(Se1–xSx)2 monolayers can be effectively tuned by both element substitution and strain engineering with the mechanisms uncovered at the atomic level. This study provides the experiments theoretical references for the novel catalyst design of the hydrogen evolution reaction.

Production of hydrogen from water electrolysis has stimulated the search of sustainable electrocatalysts as possible alternatives. Recently, cobalt phosphide (CoP) and molybdenum phosphide (MoP) received great attention owing to their superior catalytic activity and stability towards the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) which rivals platinum catalysts. In this study, we synthesize and study a series of catalysts based on hybrids of CoP and MoP with different Co/Mo ratio. The HER activity shows a volcano shape and reaches a maximum for Co/Mo = 1. Tafel analysis indicates a change in the dominating step of Volmer–Hyrovský mechanism. Interestingly, X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed a major ternary interstitial hexagonal CoMoP 2 crystal phase is formed which enhances the electrochemical activity.
