Hydrogen is considered to be a promising clean energy due to its clean and renewable advantages,and it will play an important role in the renewable energy system to replace traditional fossil fuels in the future.Electrochemical decomposition of water is an efficient and environmentally friendly way of hydrogen production.In the development of water electrolysis hydrogen production technology,the role of efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution catalyst has become particularly important.Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has the advantages of lower Gibbs free energy for hydrogen evolution and resistance to acid and alkali corrosion,therefore,it has been a research hotspot as an efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution catalyst.In this paper,the mechanism of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction was described,and the application of MoS2 with different morphologies in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution was reviewed.MoS2 electrocatalysts were modified to optimize their catalytic activity.The studies showed that the catalytic activity of MoS2 in the electrochemical hydrogen evolution process could be greatly enhanced by improving the catalytic activity of MoS2 edge sites and increasing the number of active sites.
