Layered 2D PtX2 (X = S, Se, Te) for the electrocatalytic HER in comparison with Mo/WX2 and Pt/C: are we missing the bigger picture?

A critical perspective that questions the use of PtX 2 for the HER when we have a better performing Pt/C while analysing the potential ways in which PtX 2 can actually be better than Pt/C.
