Identifying the Active Sites in MoSi₂@MoO₃ Heterojunctions for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution

Developing Two-dimensional (2D) Mo-based heterogeneous nanomaterials is of great significance for energy conversion, especially in alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), however, it remains a challenge to identify the active sites at the interface due to the structure complexity. Herein, the real active sites are systematically explored during the HER process in varied Mo-based 2D materials by theoretical computational and magnetron sputtering approaches first to filtrate the candidates, then successfully combined the MoSi
