| description | Compared with three-dimensional (3D) and other materials, two-dimensional (2D) materials with unique properties such as high specific surface area, structurally adjustable band structure, and electromagnetic properties have attracted wide attention. In recent years, great progress has been made for 2D MoS<sub>2</sub> in the field of electrocatalysis, and its exposed unsaturated edges are considered to be active sites of electrocatalytic reactions. In this review, we focus on the latest progress of 2D MoS<sub>2</sub> in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) that has not received much attention. First, the basic properties of 2D MoS<sub>2</sub> and its advantages in the ORR are introduced. Then, the synthesis methods of 2D MoS<sub>2</sub> are summarized, and specific strategies for optimizing the performance of 2D MoS<sub>2</sub> in ORRs, and the challenges and opportunities faced are discussed. Finally, the future of the 2D MoS<sub>2</sub>-based ORR catalysts is explored. |
