Hi, mostly, transition metal ions like, Co, Ni, Fe are doped into the MoS2 matrix and are the classic route to maximize the catalytic activity of MoS2, as the doped ions alter the electronic properties at the coordinatively unsaturated catalytic S-edge.
Anupma Thakur thanks , but I start my research in this smester, I want to expose new element as a dopent in mos2 for water spliting, can u help me for dopent selection?
The element you choose, say like transition or rare earth metals, should largely, either optimize the density of active edge sites by reducing the dimensions along the z direction or xy direction
(nanostructures) or increase the conductivity by stabilizing MoS2. You can try with d0 or d10 group Elements.
