Layered transition metal dichalcogenides especially MoS 2 is favorable to be the low-cost alternative to Pt-based electrocatalysts for water splitting. Defect-rich MoS 2 nanosheets exhibiting enlarged interlayer spacing of 9.2 Å were synthesized via a solvothermal method, in which trithiocyanuric ac...
