Abstract

Nitrogen and sulfur dual‐doped Mo2C nanosheets provide low operating potential (−86 mV for driving 10 mA cm−2 of current density). Co‐doping of N and S heteroatoms can improve the wetting property of the Mo2C electrocatalyst in aqueous solution and induce synergistic effects via σ‐donation and π‐back donation with hydronium cation.
