Highly efficient electrocatalytic hydrogen production by nickel promoted molybdenum sulfide microspheres catalysts

Abstract

Ni-promoted MoS2 microspheres consisting of nanosheets have been prepared via a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis for the first time. The electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) results demonstrated that the Ni-promoted MoS2 catalysts showed superior catalytic activity in the HER compared to pure MoS2 catalysts.
