Synergizing Hydrogen Spillover and Deprotonation by the Internal Polarization Field in a MoS 2 /NiPS 3 Vertical Heterostructure for Boosted Water Electrolysis

Abstract
Abstract Hydrogen spillover (HSo) has emerged to upgrade the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of Pt‐support electrocatalysts, but it is not applicable to the deprotonated oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Non‐precious catalysts that can perform well in both HSo and deprotonation (DeP) are extremely desirable for a sustainable hydrogen economy. Herein, an affordable MoS 2 /NiPS 3 vertical heterostructure catalyst is presented to synergize HSo and DeP for efficient water electrolysis. The internal polarization field (IPF) is clarified as the driving force of HSo in HER electrocatalysis. The HSo from the MoS 2 edge to NiPS 3 can activate the NiPS 3 basal plane to boost the HER activity of the MoS 2 /NiPS…
