MoO2 nanobelts@nitrogen self-doped MoS2 nanosheets as effective electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction

Pt nanoparticles/MoS2 nanosheets/carbon fibers as efficient catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction

“…3b) is fit to the Tafel equation (h = b log j + a, where j is the current density and b the Tafel slope). Note that for hydrogen evolution in acid on metal electrode surfaces, the mechanism typically involves three major reactions [12,18,26] …”

“…However, their scarcity and high costs of Pt-group metals have hindered their wide applications. Recently, inorganic catalysts, such as MoS 2 , WS 2 and CoSe 2 , have drawn great attention due to their low costs, high chemical stability, and excellent catalytic properties in HER [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. However, the catalytic activity of the above reported catalysts can't be compared with that of Pt-based electrocatalysts.…”

One-pot synthesis of nanosheet-assembled hierarchical MoSe2/CoSe2 microcages for the enhanced performance of electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution

“…Moreover, synergistic regulations have been found an effective way to enhance the HER process in hybrid electrocatalysts. [67][68][69][70][71][72] Recently Gao et al have described perhaps the most efficient MoS 2 /CoSe 2 hybrid catalyst for HER. 73 In their study graphene-like MoS 2 nanosheets were grown on pre-synthesized CoSe 2 nanobelts.…”

Uniformed polyaniline supported MoS2 nanorod: a photocatalytic hydrogen evolution and anti-bacteria material

“…However, the catalytic activity of MoS 2 has been calculated and identified mainly attributes to the edges rather than the basal surface [11,12]. Furthermore, MoS 2 appears to be agglomerated and stacking due to the unstable thermosdynamically and van der Waals interactions, therefore decreases the number of active sites [13,14].…”
