This study develops an efficient HER electrocatalyst with good stability by heteroatom doping and exposing more active sites through ultrathin nanosheets. The catalyst exhibits outstanding HER performance in both acidic and alkaline solutions, along with exceptional durability.
Heteroatom doping is a possible way to regulate the catalytic capability of electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This work focuses on the development of bimetallic Cobalt-Iron sulfide ultrathin nanosheets supported on the graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) catalyst as efficient HER electrocatalysts (CoS2/FeS2/ CN) with good stability at wide pH value. The ultrathin nanosheet exposes more active sites and enhances the catalyst activity. Electrochemical experiments demonstrate that adding g-C3N4 and Fe to CoS2 increases its catalytic activity and stability. Furthermore, g-C3N4 and Fe co-doped with CoS2 can modulate electronic structures on the interface. The CoS2/FeS2/CN exhibits outstanding HER performance, reaching a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with overpotentials of only 76.5 mV in an acidic solution and 175.6 mV in an alkaline solution. It also demonstrates exceptional durability, superior to commercial platinum/carbon catalysts. This work introduces a promising approach for designing low-cost, high-performance HER electrocatalysts with a wide pH range.
