Major Contributions
1. A host–guest strategy structurally tunes selenium sites within the in-plane lattice of metallic-phase (1T) tungsten diselenide (WSe₂), modifying local coordination and d-band structure to optimize hydrogen adsorption free energy for enhanced HER.
2. The host–guest interaction stabilizes the metallic 1T phase and introduces controlled Se-site distortions, synergistically improving intrinsic catalytic activity and long-term stability under acidic and alkaline conditions.
3. The engineered metallic-phase WSe₂ achieves significantly improved HER performance compared to pristine WSe₂, offering insights into phase-engineering and in-plane heteroatom tuning as strategies for designing 2D electrocatalysts.
主要貢獻
1. 採用主客體策略調控金屬相（1T）二硒化鎢（WSe₂）面內晶格中的硒位點結構，改變局域配位與 d 帶結構，優化氫吸附自由能以增強 HER 性能。
2. 主客體相互作用穩定金屬 1T 相並引入受控的 Se 位點畸變，協同提升酸鹼條件下的本徵催化活性與長期穩定性。
3. 工程化金屬相 WSe₂ 相比純 WSe₂ 展現顯著改善的 HER 性能，為相工程與面內雜原子調控設計二維電催化劑策略提供見解。
