Strategic design and fabrication of MXenes-Ti3CNCl2@CoS2 core-shell nanostructure for high-efficiency hydrogen evolution

Overview
CoS

is considered to be a promising electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, its further widespread applications are hampered by the unsatisfactory activity due to relatively high chemisorption energy for hydrogen atom. Herein, theoretical predictions of first-principles calculations reveal that the introduction of a Cl-terminated MXenes-Ti
