Easy incorporation of single-walled carbon nanotubes into two-dimensional MoS2 for high-performance hydrogen evolution
Abstract
The limited intrinsic conductivity of two-dimensional (2D) MoS₂ nanosheets compromises its high electrocatalytic performance. In this work, we develop a facile method of simply dispersing MoS₂ nanosheets into a water-isopropanol solution of high-conducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for preparation of MoS₂/SWCNT composites. The SWCNTs in the hybrid system serve as effective electron transport channels among 2D MoS₂ nanosheets and facilitate charge transfer at the catalyst-electrolyte interface. We investigated the influence of SWCNTs ratios on the catalytic activities and obtained a high-performance hybrid catalyst with a low Tafel slope of 40.82 mV/decade and prominent electrochemical durability. The demonstration of our hybrid electrocatalytic system, with its scalable capacity for facile preparation, provides a new pathway to enhance HER activity.

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.
