Sulfur Vacancy‐Induced Enhancement of Piezocatalytic H 2 Production in MoS 2

Abstract This study explores the role of S vacancies in MoS 2 in enhancing its piezocatalytic efficiency. Sulfur vacancies in the crystal lattice introduce localized changes in the electronic structure and charge distribution, improving the material's piezoelectric response. Characterization of the catalysts involved techniques like field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemical measurements, including impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and Mott–Schottky (M‐S) analysis, are performed to assess the piezocatalytic performance. The study also employed density functional theory (DFT)…
