▎ 摘  要

A series of Ni0.37Co0.63S2-reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites with different graphene contents (NCS@rGO-x) has been successfully prepared via a facile one-step hydrothermal method and applied as the catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and degradation of organic pollutants. The XRD and FESEM analyses revealed that the phase structure and morphology of NCS nanoparticles were substantially influenced by the graphene contents. The phase structure of NCS nanoparticles gradually transformed from primary NiCo2S4 to Ni0.37Co0.63S2 and the morphology and size of NCS nanoparticles were found to become more regular and homogeneous with the increase of graphene concentration. On the NCS@rGO-x nanocomposites, the NCS@rGO-2 sample demonstrated the best catalytic activity toward the OER, which delivers a stable current density of 10 mA cm(-2) at a small overpotential of similar to 276 mV (vs. RHE) with a Tafel slope as low as 48 mV dec(-1). Furthermore, the NCS@rGO-2 sample showed the remarkable photocatalytic activity for degradation of methylene blue (MB), which may be attributed to the increased reaction sites and high separation efficiency of photogenerated charge carries due to the electronic interaction between NCS nanoparticles and rGO. All these impressive performances indicate that the NCS@rGO-2 nanocomposite is a promising catalyst in energy and environmental fields.
