With an appropriate catalyst, hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by water splitting can be used to produce hydrogen gas. Recently, layered transition-metal dichalcogenides have been proposed as alternative HER catalysts. However, a significant challenge is how to obtain the high-density active sites. With first-principle calculations, we explore the possibility of defect engineering to trigger the HER catalytic activity of basal plane by analyzing monolayer PdSe<sub>2</sub>, PtSe<sub>2</sub>, PdT ...[more]
