Popis: | Two-dimensional Mo/Mo2C heteronanosheets (Mo/Mo2C-HNS) were successfully prepared via a NaCl template-assisted synthesis route followed by a controllable simultaneous reduction and carbonization of MoO3 nanosheets for efficient hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis under both acidic and alkaline conditions. The Mo species in the atomically thin Mo/Mo2C-HNS not only guarantees the rapid transport of electrons but also optimizes the electronic configuration of β-Mo2C. Besides, the abundant Mo/β-Mo2C heterointerfaces in nanodimension afford large numbers of additional heterogeneous catalytic sites. HER electrocatalytic performance with overpotential of merely 89 mV to drive a current density of 10 mA/cm2 in 0.5 M H2SO4 is therefore achieved. Strikingly, stable chronoamperometric electrolysis for 20 h and also an impressive cycling stability with negligible overpotential decay over 4000 sweeps demonstrate its considerable durability in an acidic environment. These findings highlight the promising potent... |
