Popis: Constructing regularly catalytic arrays is essential for electrochemical catalysis, especially for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this work, two-dimensional zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) arrays were chosen as templates to construct few-layer MoS2-decorated hollow CoP. By coupling MoS2 nanosheets arrays and two-dimensional ZIF-67 derived CoP, the advantages of the active sites of MoS2 nanosheets edges and CoP are combined for efficient HER, which can drive a current density of 100 mA/cm2 in both acid (91 mV) and alkaline (135 mV) solutions for 10 h. Furthermore, the prepared catalyst can reach a current density of 10 mA/cm2 with overpotentials of only 53 and 77 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1 M KOH, respectively. Most importantly, we believe replacing ZIF-67 powders with 2D ZIF-67 arrays can boost the electrochemical activities for HER and this method can provide us a guideline for the future application of two-dimensional ZIF-67 arrays to construct efficient electrocatalysts.
