In the context of increased application of proton exchange membrane electrolyzers, the development of cheap and long-lived transition-metal hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalysts is required to circumvent nonsustainable platinum-based electrocatalysts. Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of robust iron sulfide nanoparticles from low-cost precursors (i.e., FeCl3 and thiourea) using an easily scalable soft synthesis technique, which can achieve electrocatalysis. In the series of nanoparticles studied, we show that pyrite FeS2 is the most active, in comparison with greigite Fe3S4 and pyrrhotite Fe9S10, in a three-electrode electrochemical cell, the electrocatalysis starting at an overpotential of similar to 180 mV. These three materials exhibit a very stable behavior during the catalysis, with no activity decrease for at least 5 days. FexSy catalysts have been tested in a PEM electrolysis single cell, and pyrite FeS2 allows achievement of a current density of 2 A/cm(2) at a voltage of 2.3 V.
