The optimal hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance was obtained on the surface treated with nitrogen-plasma for 120 s. An overpotential of 0.20 V and a Tafel slope of 120 mV dec−1 were achieved for the optimized condition. The angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurement confirmed the HER efficiency enhanced by the SEA conjugated with the sulfur vacancy active sites in the MoS2 basal planes. This study provides new insight into optimizing MoS2 catalysts for energy applications.&lt;/p&gt;
