Abstract
Developing economic, efficient, and stable electrocatalysts for accelerating the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) remains challenging. Here, MoS2/rGO electrocatalysts were prepared by a simple one-pot hydrothermal process for efficient HER in water splitting. Meanwhile, the MoO3 and 1T/2H-MoS2 species on the surface of rGO have the capability to furnish more electrocatalytic active sites. The obtained MoS2/rGO catalyst exhibits excellent HER activity with the low overpotential of 429 mV at 10 mA cm−2 current density, and the Tafel slope of 134 mV dec−1. This study provides a new idea for the development of novel electrocatalysts for application in electrochemical energy devices.
