▎ 摘  要

Efficient hydrogen evolution through water splitting at low overpotentials is crucial to develop renewable energy technology, which depends on the design of efficient and durable electrocatalysts composed of earth-abundant elements. Herein, a highly and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has been developed on the basis of MoS2 on p-phenylenediamine (PPD)-functionalized reduced graphene oxide/O-containing carbon nanotubes (rGO/O-MWCNT) hybrids via facile and green hydrothermal process. Among the prepared catalysts, the optimized MoS2/rGO/PPD/O-MWCNT with nanosized and highly dispersed MoS2 sheets provides a large amount of available edge sites and the improved electron transfer in 3D conductive networks. It exhibits excellent HER activity with a low overpotential of 90 mV and large current density of 47.6 mA.cm(-2) at 200 mV, as well as excellent stability in an acidic medium. The Tafel slope of 48 mV.dec(-1) reveals the Volmer-Heyrovsky mechanism for HER. Thus, this work paves a potential pathway for designing efficient MoS2-based electrocatalysts for HER by functionalized conductive substrates.
