| Abstract Scope |
The evolution of hydrogen from water through Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) is considered a stimulating strategy for the production and storage of clean energy. However, a militating factor against the full implementation of HER is the shortage of electrocatalysts required to trigger the reaction. While noble metal such as Pt has been found to provide significant catalytic activity for HER implementation, nonetheless, the scarcity and cost of this rare metal pose a challenge for its utilization in large-scale HER processes. Two-Dimensional Transitional Metal Dichalcogenides (2D TMDs) have been found to possess significant catalytic properties capable of driving HER. This paper highlights the recent progress in the development of 2D TMDs for HER application. Major highlights include recent advancements in the synthesis of 2D TMDs and strategies employed in improving their performance in the catalysis of HER. Challenges in their utilization for HER application and possible future developments are also discussed. |
