The rational design of advanced electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production using electrical energy supply from renewable sources is a key issue that must be addressed to reduce CO2 emissions. In this talk I will present original results on the use of two-dimensional materials as efficient electrodes for water splitting. I will focus on two different systems: ultrathin B-C-N (borocarbonitride) films and few layer MoS2 nanoparticles.
