Key Points

  • The study aims to explore how strain engineering can activate inert basal planes in curved MoS2 for better catalytic performance.
  • Developed a curved molybdenum disulfide nanosheet with tailored in-plane strain.
  • Anchored single-atom platinum to the nanosheet to enhance activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction.
  • Achieved improved hydrogen evolution reaction rates compared to unstrained MoS2.
  • Showed significant activation of basal planes with the incorporation of Pt single atoms.

Abstract

Strain engineering has been considered as a promising strategy for constructing strained two-dimensional (2D) materials to trigger inert basal planes and anchor single-atom active sites but continues to be a challenge. Herein, we present a curved molybdenum disulfide nanosheet with in-plane strain and anchored Pt single atoms (sMoS
