Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2)-based materials have been recently identified as promising electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, little work has been done to improve the catalytic performance of MoS2 toward HER in alkaline electrolytes, which is more suitable for water splitting in large-scale applications. Here, it is reported that the hybridization of 0D nickel hydr(oxy...

Two-dimensional materials (2D) with unique physicochemical properties have been widely studied for their use in many applications, including as hydrogen evolution catalysts to improve the efficiency of water splitting. Recently, typical 2D MoS2, graphene, MXenes, and black phosphorus investigated application reaction (HER). In this review, we summarize three efficient strategies—defect engineer...

Cheap and abundant electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reactions (HER) have been widely pursued for their practical application in hydrogen-energy technologies. In this work, I present systematical study of the hydrogen evolution reactions on MXenes (Mo2X and W2X, X = C and N) based on density-functional-theory calculations. I find that their HER performances strongly depend on the composit...

Abstract Developing high‐efficiency electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been considered as a crucial way to reduce energy loss in water‐splitting.

Single nanoparticle (NP) collisions technique has been widely employed in electrocatalysis. However, the short collision duration of single NPs hinders further improvement their electrocatalytic performance. Here, to increase dynamic electron tunneling region, enhanced near-wall hindered diffusion is introduced stochastic process by coupling a Au ultramicroelectrode (UME) with confined microcha...

We successfully developed a simple electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method to decorate the MoSe2 nanosheets on the carbon fiber surface of carbon cloth (MoSe2/CC). With this process, MoSe2 nanosheets can be uniformly and tightly deposited on this flexible conductor to form a 3D binder-free electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The film thickness can also be controlled by the EPD time...

The growing consumption of global energy has posed serious challenges to environmental protection and supplies.

The splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen molecules using sunlight is an attractive method for solar energy storage. Until now, photoelectrochemical hydrogen evolution is mostly studied in acidic solutions, in which the hydrogen evolution is more facile than in alkaline solutions. Herein, we report photoelectrochemical hydrogen production in alkaline solutions, which are more favorable th...
