Hydrogen production through electrocatalytic hydrolysis is a promising way to provide cheap clean energy.Due to its excellent electrocatalytic activity,molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has received extensive attention as a potential HER catalyst.However,the HER performance of MoS2 needs to be improved to compete with traditional Pt-based catalysts.Recent advances in improving HER performance based on MoS2 surface/interface engineering were analyzed.Several effective strategies such as phase engineering,defect engineering,and heterostructure construction were summarized to reveal the promotion of HER kinetics by regulating surface electron structure,increasing electrical conductivity,and exposing active sites.
