MXene is a new group of electrocatalysts for two-dimensional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Its surfaces are often covered by hydrophilic O and OH mixed groups. To find the effect of the O and OH mixed groups on HER, we studied the HER activity for M2XO2-2x(OH)2x (M=Ti, V; X=C, N) by first-principle calculations. Results indicate that HER activity is closely related to OH-occupied coverage (x). For Ti2CO2-2x(OH)2x, excellent HER activity could be maintained when the OH-occupied coverage was not larger than 1/3. For Ti2NO2-2x(OH)2x, V2CO2-2x(OH)2x, and V2NO2-2x(OH)2x, high HER activity was obtained when OH-occupied coverage reached 4/9, 1/3, and 5/9, respectively. Next, we analyzed the charge-transfer density and found that the charges on the oxygen groups were strongly affected by the OH-occupied coverage. Finally, we revealed the variation of HER activity that oxidizability of O groups is weakened with increasing OH-occupied coverage. In this paper, we propose a new method to obtain the optimal HER activity for M2XO2-2x(OH)2x by adjusting the OH-occupied coverage of the surfaces, which is useful in industrial hydrogen production %U http://www.whxb.pku.edu.cn/CN/Y2017/V33/I10/2022
