As one of the most promising Pt alternatives for cost-effective hydrogen production, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2), although has been studied extensively to improve its electrocatalytic activity, suffers from scarce active sites, low conductivity, and lack of interaction with substrates. To this end, we anchor ultradispersed and single-layered MoS2 nanoflakes on graphene sheets via a hybrid intermediate (MoOx-cysteine-graphene oxide), which not only confines the subsequent growth of MoS2 on the graphene surface but also ensures the intimate interaction between Mo species and graphene at the initial stage. Mo-O-C bond and a possible residual MoO3-x layer are proposed to comprise the interface bridging the two inherent incompatible phases, MoS2 and graphene. This strongly coupled structure together with the highly exposed MoS2 morphology accelerates the electron injection from graphene to the active sites of MoS2, and thus the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) can achieve an overpotential of, similar to 275 mV at similar to-740 mA cm(-2), and a Pt-like Tafel slope of similar to 35 mV dec(-1). Our results shed light on the indispensable role of interfacial interaction within semiconducting material-nanocarbon composites and provide a new insight into the actual activity of MoS2 toward the HER.
