Research topics from publications: Overcoming undesired fuel crossover: Goals of methanol-resistant modification of polymer electrolyte membranes; Mechanism of highly enhanced hydrogen storage by two-dimensional 1T′ MoS2; Insightful understanding of three-phase interface behaviors in 1T-2H MoS2/CFP electrode for hydrogen evolution improvement. Representative work: Hydrogen energy is a high-efficiency and clean energy, but the problem of storage still prevents its extensive use. Large-surface-area, two-dimensional (2D) layered materials have an advantage in hydrogen storage applications. Monolayer MoS2 is a typical 2D material that has been widely studied recently. And the 1T' phase of MoS2 is a focus especially for studies concerning hydrogen. Here, first-principles calculations are carried out to investigate the adsorption behaviors of hydrogen molecules on 1T' MoS2. Comparing with other MoS2-based materials, such as doped or decorated 2H-MoS2, 1T' MoS2 has even better performance in hydrogen adsorption, and its preparation is easier. In multiple hyd
