▎ 摘  要

A melamine-based carbon foam was obtained from a melamine foam (2x2x2 cm(3)), which was then coated with graphene by immersing it in 400 mL of a suspension of reduced graphene oxide in water with concentrations of 25 to 100 mg/L. MoS2/graphene/carbonized melamine foam composites for use as catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction were synthesized by the hydrothermal growth of MoS2 nanosheets on the graphene-coated carbon foams in a mixed solution of molybdic acid disodium salt and thiourea. Results indicate that MoS2 nanosheets with a thickness of 15-20 nm were uniformly distributed on the three-dimensional carbon foam substrates coated with different amounts of graphene. The amount of graphene coating has a great influence on the hydrogen evolution performance. The composite prepared with a graphene concentration of 25 mg/L has the best electrochemical performance, its initial overpotential at a 10 mA cm(-2) current density is 163 mV, and the corresponding Tafel slope is 76 mV dec(-1). It has also the lowest impedance, which shows that coating the carbon foam with an appropriate amount of reduced graphene oxide accelerates electron migration and improves the hydrogen evolution performance.
