Molybdenum diboride nanoparticles as a highly efficient electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

Non-noble metal nanomaterials (molybdenum sulfides, phosphides, carbides, and nitrides) have recently emerged as highly active electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here we present experimental and theoretical studies of the first highly active molybdenum boride nanomaterial for the HER.
