Unsaturated Sulfur Edge Engineering of Strongly Coupled MoS2 Nanosheet–Carbon Macroporous Hybrid Catalyst for Enhanced Hydrogen Generation

Xu, Qiucheng, Liu, Yu, Jiang, Hao, Hu, Yanjie, Liu, Honglai, Li, Chunzhong·2019·Advanced Energy Materials

Abstract

The low hydrogen adsorption free energy and strong acid/alkaline resistance of layered MoS 2 render it an excellent pH‐universal electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the catalytic activity is dominantly suppressed by its limited active‐edge‐site density. Herein, a new strategy is reported for making a class of strongly coupled MoS 2 nanosheet–carbon macroporous hybrid catalysts with engineered unsaturated sulfur edges for boosting HER catalysis by controlling the precursor decomposition and subsequent sodiation/desodiation. Both surface chemical state analysis and first‐principles calculations verify that the resultant catalysts exhibit a desirable valence‐electron state with high exposure of unsaturated sulfur edges and an optimized hydrogen adsorption free energy, significantly improving the intrinsic HER catalytic activity. Such an electrocatalyst exhibits superior and stable catalytic activity toward HER with small overpotentials of 136 mV in 0.5 m H 2 SO 4 and 155 mV in 1 m KOH at 10 mA cm−2, which is the best report for MoS 2–C hybrid electrocatalysts to date. This work paves a new avenue to improve the intrinsic catalytic activity of 2D materials for hydrogen generation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
