The development of transition metal-based catalysts to replace precious metal catalysts is crucial for overall water splitting. In this study, cobalt-doped NiS@MoS2 core-shell nanorods were prepared as a bifunctional catalyst, showing outstanding electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and overall water splitting with excellent stability.
Development of transition metal-based catalysts to replace precious metal catalysts has significant meaning for overall water splitting. Here, we prepared cobalt-doped NiS@MoS2 core-shell nanorods (Co-NiS@MoS2) as bifunctional catalyst through a simple one-step hydrothermal method. Co-NiS@MoS2 catalyst could achieve brilliant electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and overall water splitting. And Co-NiS@MoS2 catalyst manifested small overpotentials at 50 mA cm(-2) for both HER (139.9 mV) and OER (170.6 mV) catalytic performance in 1 M KOH solution. In addition, it displayed a cell voltage of 1.54 V at 50 mA cm(-2) for overall water splitting, which is comparable with or surpasses the reported catalysts in the literatures. And Co-NiS@MoS2 catalyst had superior stabilities for HER, OER and overall water splitting in 1 M KOH due to its unique core-shell structure and synergistic effects of NiS nanorods and MoS2 nanosheets.
