Dynamic evolution and reversibility of single-atom Ni(II) active site in 1T-MoS2 electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution

While single atom catalysis combines heterogeneous materials with molecular understanding, the role of the single atoms remains vague. Here, authors examine single Ni on MoS2 via in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy to reveal the intermediate and catalytically active species.
