- This paper demonstrates that 2D-MoS2 can be used as a cost effective alternative to Pt for the production of hydrogen within an electrolyser. It is the first to demonstrate the varying effect of mass loading and choice of substrate has upon the electrocatalytic effect of 2D-MoS2. This introduced to the field the concept of a critical mass of modification, which is now a key consideration when 2D materials are used as catalyst. This work formed the basis of a successful grant application from the British Council Institutional Link grant (No. 172726574) aimed at producing an electrolyser prototype using 2D-MoS2.
