The Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on Nanostructured Molybdenum Disulfide

Study on Nanostructured Molybdenum Carbide for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on Edges of a Few Layer Molybdenum Disulfide Nanodots.

The design and development of inexpensive highly efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production underpins several emerging clean-energy technologies. In this work, for the first time, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanodots have been synthesized by ionic liquid assisted grinding exfoliation of bulk platelets and isolated by sequential centrifugation. The nanodots have a thickness of up to 7 la...

Interface confined hydrogen evolution reaction in zero valent metal nanoparticles-intercalated molybdenum disulfide

Interface confined reactions, which can modulate the bonding of reactants with catalytic centres and influence the rate of the mass transport from bulk solution, have emerged as a viable strategy for achieving highly stable and selective catalysis. Here we demonstrate that 1T'-enriched lithiated molybdenum disulfide is a highly powerful reducing agent, which can be exploited for the in-situ red...

Molybdenum disulfide/pyrolytic carbon hybrid electrodes for scalable hydrogen evolution.

The electrochemical generation of hydrogen fuel via the proton reduction in the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER) in aqueous media is currently dependent on the use expensive noble metal catalysts for which alternatives must be sought. Molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) has shown great promise as a suitable electrocatalyst in this regard. While many lab-scale experiments on the HER activity of this ma...

Pure and stable metallic phase molybdenum disulfide nanosheets for hydrogen evolution reaction.

Metallic-phase MoS2 (M-MoS2) is metastable and does not exist in nature. Pure and stable M-MoS2 has not been previously prepared by chemical synthesis, to the best of our knowledge. Here we report a hydrothermal process for synthesizing stable two-dimensional M-MoS2 nanosheets in water. The metal-metal Raman stretching mode at 146 cm(-1) in the M-MoS2 structure, as predicted by theoretical calc...
