Abstract Electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is an appealing strategy to reduce carbon emissions and generate renewable fuels. This promising process, however, limited by its sluggish reaction kinetics high-cost catalysts. The two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) have presented great potential as electrocatalytic materials due their tunable bandgaps, abundant defective active sites, good chemical stability. Consequently, phase engineering, defect engineering interface been adopted manipulate the electronic structure of TMDCs boosting exceptional catalytic performance. Particularly, it essential clarify local catalytically sites structural evolution in reactions using atomic resolution electron microscopy booming situ technologies, which beneficial exploring underlying mechanism. In this review, growth regulation, characterization, particularly configurations are summarized. significant role understanding mechanism, controlled synthesis functional optimization 2D discussed. review will shed light on design novel electrocatalysts with high performance, well prompt application advanced research science.
