Enhanced performance of in-plane transition metal dichalcogenides monolayers by configuring local atomic structures

Designing and realizing local configurations can activate the in-plane chalcogen atoms of transition metal dichalcogenide to enhance the HER activity. We combine the theoretical screening (charge transfer capability) and experimental realization to achieve highly active local configurations
