Abstract:
Electrocatalytic hydrogen production is an effective way to produce hydrogen energy, and the key is to find inexpensive and effective catalysts. Loading transition metal sulfides onto two-dimensional transition metal carbide (MXene) is an effective method to prepare cheap and high-performance hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. In this study, Mo2TiAlC2 was etched with hydrofluoric acid to prepare Mo2TiC2Tx MXene, which was then composited with MoS2 and CoS2 to prepare defect-rich MoS2/CoS2@Mo2TiC2Tx composite by a hydrothermal method. MoS2/CoS2 provides a large number of active sites for electrocatalysis, while Mo2TiC2Tx MXene as a carrier not only provides nucleation and growth sites for MoS2/CoS2, but also increases the rate of electron transfer in HER process, which achieves good synergy between MoS2/CoS2 and Mo2TiC2Tx MXene. Consequently, MoS2/CoS2-2@Mo2TiC2Tx exhibits an excellent HER performance. When the current density reaches 10 mA cm−2, the optimal MoS2/CoS2-2@Mo2TiC2Tx catalyst only requires an overpotential of 80 mV, and exhibits good cycling stability and durability. This work gives a new idea for the preparation of efficient HER catalysts using non-precious metal composites to replace the precious Pt/C. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
