3D Hierarchical Porous Mo2C for Efficient Hydrogen Evolution

Porous electrocatalyst for hydrogen production. 3D hierarchical porous molybdenum carbide provides a low operating potential (97 mV at 10 mA cm(-2)). These beneficial textures of large specific surface area (302 m(2) g(-1)) and hierarchical porous architecture containing dominant pore size distribution peak at 11 angstrom in width can provide large surface active sites and facilitate proton mass transport.
