Edge-exposed MoS2 nano-assembled structures as efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Edge-exposed MoS2 nano-assembled structures are designed for high hydrogen evolution reaction activity and long term stability. The number of sulfur edge sites of nano-assembled spheres and sheets is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and EXAFS analysis. By controlling the MoS2 morphology with the formation of nano-assembled spheres with the assembly of small-size fragments of MoS2, the resulting assembled spheres have high electrocatalytic HER activity and high thermodynamic stability.

متن کاملA strategy to synergistically increase the number of active edge sites and the conductivity of MoS2 nanosheets for hydrogen evolution.
Nanostructured MoS2 is very promising as an electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution due to a greater number of active edge sites. However, a very large resistance between basal planes decreases the overall efficiency of hydrogen evolution, and greatly limits its application in industry. Herein we develop a facile strategy to synergistically increase the number of active edge sites and the conduc...

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) has been widely examined as a catalyst containing no precious metals for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER); however, these examinations have utilized synthesized MoS2 because the pristine MoS2 mineral is known to be a poor catalyst. The fundamental challenge with pristine MoS2 is the inert HER activity of the predominant (0001) basal surface plane. In order to ac...
