Room-temperature cyclic voltammetry (CV) electrodynamic deposition is proposed herein for the first time to deposit Co9-xMnxS8 nanosheet arrays. The incorporation of Mn spin states induces atomic distortion, which contributes to more active edge sites and the fine-tuning of the electronic structure. The Co9-xMnxS8 (x = 4.5) catalyst exhibits enhanced catalytic activity toward the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) when compared with pristine Co9S8. This work offers a promising strategy for the design of highly efficient HER electrocatalysts.
