One-pot synthesis of MoS_2(1−x)Se_2x on N-doped reduced graphene oxide: tailoring chemical and structural properties for photoenhanced hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

In this work we designed a one-pot solvothermal synthesis of MoS2(1-x)Se2x nanosheets directly grown on N-doped reduced graphene oxide (hereafter N-rGO). We optimized the synthesis conditions to control the Se:S...

Catalytic Activity of Defect-Engineered Transition Me tal Dichalcogenides Mapped with Atomic-Scale Precision by Electrochemical Scanning Tunneling Microscopy

“…Nowadays, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are investigated as replacements for Pt group materials (PGMs), in the hope that they can achieve similar performances but at a lower cost. − These materials have drawn the scientific community’s attention due to their diverse electronic, − optical, − magnetic, , and catalytic − properties that can be easily tuned through chemical composition, , crystal phase, , and thickness . Moreover, the TMD properties can be further improved by defects , or strain, which can be introduced during or after the synthesis.…”

Fe,Ni-Based Metal–Organic Frameworks Embedded in Nanoporous Nitrogen-Doped Graphene as a Highly Efficient Electrocatalyst for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

“…In recent years, GO [39] and NG [40] materials have captured a great deal of attention as applied materials owing to their affordable large-scale production and interesting properties, including large surface area, good electrical conductivity, and strong mechanical strength. The highly adaptable 2D structure of graphene and its easy chemical functionalization [41,42] provide a variety of active sites for its combination with other materials [43].…”
