MoS2 Formed on Mesoporous Graphene as a Highly Active Catalyst for Hydrogen Evolution
A highly active and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution is developed based on the in situ formation of MoS 2 nanoparticles on mesoporous graphene foams (MoS 2 /MGF). Taking advantage of its high specifi c surface area and its interconnected conductive graphene skeleton, MGF provides a favorable microenvironment for the growth of highly dispersed MoS 2 nanoparticles while allowing rapi...
متن کاملSynthesizing 2D MoS2 Nanofins on carbon nanospheres as catalyst support for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
Highly dense 2D MoS2 fin-like nanostructures on carbon nanospheres were fabricated and formed the main catalyst support structure in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. These nanofins were observed growing perpendicular to the carbon nanosphere surface in random orientations and high resolution transmission electron microscope confirmed 2D laye...
متن کاملIdentification of active edge sites for electrochemical H2 evolution from MoS2 nanocatalysts.
The identification of the active sites in heterogeneous catalysis requires a combination of surface sensitive methods and reactivity studies. We determined the active site for hydrogen evolution, a reaction catalyzed by precious metals, on nanoparticulate molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) by atomically resolving the surface of this catalyst before measuring electrochemical activity in solution. By pr...

متن کاملThe oriented growth of tungsten oxide in ordered mesoporous carbon and their electrochemical performance.
Electrocatalysts for hydrogen oxidation and methanol oxidation are the heart of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. In spite of tremendous efforts, developing low-cost anodic electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity and corrosion resistance is still a great challenge. Here, we report a nanocomposite consisting of oriented WO3 nanorods grown in ordered mesoporous carbon as a high-perfor...
