Hydrogen produced via water electrolysis can act as an ideal clean chemical fuel with superb gravimetric energy density and high energy conversion efficiency, solving the problems of conventional fossil fuel exhaustion and environmental contamination. Transition metal sulfides (TMS) have been extens...
