A hybrid catalyst composed of silver (Ag) doped wire-like molybdenum carbide (MoxCy) with pure beta-phase and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was coated well on a carbon rod electrode for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The effects of Ag loading amount and carbonization temperature on the crystal form of MoxCy were investigated in detail. It is found that the MoxCy crystal form can be tuned by adjusting the preparation conditions, and nanostructured wire-like Mo2C with pure beta-phase was obtained at a temperature over 750 degrees C. Ag/MoxCy composite nanomaterials were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV/vis spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area analysis. The hybrid catalyst was further deposited on the carbon nanotube (CNT) modified carbon rod substrate. Due to the high surface area and 3D porous network-like microstructure, the Ag/Mo2C/CNTs hybrid electrode showed enhanced catalytic performance when comparing with the corresponding pure one. Particularly, for the Ag-doped Mo2C/CNTs hybrid electrode with an optimum 1 Ag : 5 Mo molar ratio of the precursors, a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) was obtained by applying an overpotential of 142 mV in 0.5 mol L-1 H2SO4 solution. It is expected that such a hybrid electrode can be widely applied for effective electrolysis of water to produce hydrogen.
