Abstract The intercalation of porphyrin molecules between MoS2 layers was found to efficiently induce the phase conversion to 1T’ MoS2. The Mn-porphyrin is intercalated preferentially with the Mn(III) cations. The resultant Mn-porphyrin-MoS2 exhibit excellent catalytic activity toward the hydrogen evolution reaction, with a Tafel slope of 35 mV dec-1 and 10 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 0.125 V. Spin-polarized density functional theory calculations confirmed that the intercalation of Mn-porphyrin into 1T’ MoS2 is quite favorable due to strong charge transfer. In the Volmer reaction step, the active sites are identified as S atoms of MoS2 located just above the Mn center.
