Abstract
In this study, we report that F doping can activate the in-plane HER activity of ReS<sub>2</sub> to achieve comparable performance relative to Pt/C. Theoretical calculations reveal that F doping can optimize the Δ<italic>G</italic><sub>H*</sub> and accelerate electron transport to boost the performance.
