Abstract
Abstract Hydrogen is an efficient, clean, and economical energy source, owing to its huge energy density. Electrochemical water splitting is a potential candidate for inexpensive and eco‐friendly hydrogen production. Recently, the development of 2D transition metal chalcogenides (TMDs) nanomaterials with a variety of physicochemical properties has shown their potential as eminent non‐noble metal‐based nanoscale electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution. Nanostructuring such materials induces deep modification of their functionalities, compared to their bulk counterparts. High density of different types of exposed active sites is formed, and the small diffusion paths, which enhances the electron transfer in the…
