The study designs a P-CoS1.097@MoS2/CC heterostructure electrocatalyst by constructing a heterogeneous interface and generating sulfur vacancies, showing excellent performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction.
This research paves the way for the development of MoS2-based catalysts for efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution process.
Reasonable design of non-precious metal electrocatalysts with high catalytic activity plays a crucial role in promoting the sustainable development of hydrogen energy. Herein, to improve both the active sites and intrinsic conductivity of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), a facile ionic liquid-assisted hydrothermal method and subsequent phosphorization treatment are fabricated for advanced electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. The obtained P-CoS1.097@MoS2 /CC heterostructure exhibits a low overpotential of 98 mV and 88 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm(-2) in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M KOH, respectively. The remarkable performance is due to the synergistic effects of the constructed heterogeneous interface between CoS1.097 and MoS2 as well as sulfur vacancies generated by the phosphorus doping. Therefore, fast electron transfer and large number of catalytic active sites can be achieved by means of such advantageous strategy. This research paves the way for the development of MoS2-based catalysts through the cooperative design of doping and interface engineering toward efficient HER process. (C) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
