Enhanced electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction from self-assembled monodispersed molybdenum sulfidenanoparticles on an Au electrode
Abstract
Ultrasmall molybdenum sulfide nanoparticles with diameters of 1.47 ± 0.16 nm were fabricated from bulk MoS2 by a combination of ultrasonication and centrifugation. The nanoparticles were then assembled on an Au surface to form a film with high electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). A Tafel slope of 69 mV per decade was measured for this film and the onset potential was estimated to be −0.09 V. The small loading (1.03 μg cm−2) and the high current density (0.92 mA cm−2 at η = 0.15 V) demonstrated extremely high catalytic efficiency. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopic results revealed that the assembled nanoparticle film was sulfur enriched with abundant S edges and a structural rearrangement of the S rich particles might occur during the self-assembly process, resulting in significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity for HER. Electrochemical impedance measurements suggested that the assembling process optimized the conductivity of the nanoparticle film, which contributed to the enhanced HER catalytic activity. Our research has provided a new way to synthesize active molybdenum sulfide nanoparticles for HER and a new approach to achieve enrichment of S edges on molybdenum sulfide, which might have potential use not only for electrocatalytic HER, but also for photoelectrocatalytic HER and plasmon-enhanced water splitting.

Self-assembled MoS2 nanoparticles on the surface of the Au electrode gave a low onset overpotential for hydrogen evolution (only 90 mV), which is obviously lower than that (150 mV) for samples produced by drop-casting of MoS2 nanoparticles on the Au electrode.

From 2D Transition‐Metal‐Dichalcogenide‐Nanosheet‐Based Composites for Photocatalytic and Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reactions (2016) · cites this paper as [154]
When MoS2 thin sheets are drop-cast to cover the working electrode, only the working electrode/MoS2 interfacial layers possess the most effective electrocatalytic performance.
“As a consequence, only the working electrode/MoS2 interfacial layers possess the most effective electrocatalytic performance.15”
MoS2 thin sheets with reduced size and few layers could have better electrocatalytic performance because of abundant exposed sulfur edge sites.
“Therefore, the MoS2 thin sheets with reduced size and few layers could have better electrocatalytic performance because of the existence of abundant exposed sulfur edge sites.15−19”

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.
