▎ 摘  要

Molybdenum sulfide is an efficient catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and its synthesis has attracted significant attention in recent years. In this work, molybdenum sulfide/reduced graphite oxide (MoSx/RGO) was prepared by the gamma-ray induced reduction of ammonium tetrathiomolybdate and graphite oxide. The composition, morphology, and structure of the MoSx/RGO composites were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The results confirmed the formation of amorphous MoSx/RGO composites. Subsequently, the effects of the absorbed dose and precursor ratio on the performance of the composite material as the catalyst for HER were studied systematically. The resultant MoSx/RGO composites were found to show excellent catalytic activity towards HER. With a catalyst loading of 0.275 mg.cm(-2), an onset overpotential of 110 mV, a Tafel slope of 46 mV.dec(-1), and a current density of 10 mA.cm(-2) at the overpotential of 160 mV can be achieved. These results can be considered as the proof of Volmer-Heyrovesy mechanism. In addition, the MoSx/RGO catalyst also showed an excellent long-time stability during the evaluation for HER.
