Zusammenfassung:The hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in the renewable energy system has gained a lot of attention from researchers as hydrogen is assumed to be a clean and renewable carrier. Transition metals and their compounds have been used as promising alternatives to precious noble metals for the HER, offering low cost, more availability, and high activity. In this work, we discussed the mechanisms of the HER and how morphology influenced the catalytic performance of transition metal disulfide (TMD), focusing on structures that range from zero-dimensional (0D) to three-dimensional (3D) TMD materials. Notably, two-dimensional (2D) TMDs, like nanosheets, exhibit the lowest overpotential and a very small Tafel slope, which can be ascribed to their inherent layered structure and large surface area. According to recent research reports, the efficacy and efficiency of the HER process are influenced by surface chemistry, electrochemical characteristics, and the existence of active sites.
