Functionalization‐Mediated Synthesis of Bridge‐Coordinated Fe Atoms on MoS2 Nanosheets for PEM Water Electrolyzers

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
We report a functionalization‐mediated strategy to synthesize robust iron (Fe) atoms selectively coordinated at bridge sites on molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheets. The resulting b‐Fe‐MoS2 catalyst exhibits enhanced activity and durability for the hydrogen evolution reaction in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers compared to atop ...
