▎ 摘 要
The development of highly active and low-cost catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is significant for the development of clean and renewable energy research. Owing to the low H adsorption free energy, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is regarded as a promising candidate for HER, but it shows low activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, graphene-supported cobalt-doped ultrathin molybdenum disulfide (Co-MoS2/rGO) was synthesized via a one-pot hydrothermal method. The obtained hybrids modified electrode exhibits a high HER catalytic activity with a low overpotential of 147 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm(-2), a small Tafel slope of 49.5 mV dec(-1), as well as good electrochemical stability in acidic electrolyte. Meanwhile, the catalyst shows remarkable OER activity with a low overpotential of 347 mV at 10 mA cm(-2). The superior activity is ascribed not only to the high conductivity originated from the reduced graphene, but also to the synergistic effect between MoS2 and cobalt.
