Abstract
Metallic phase (1T) MoS(2)has been regarded as an appealing material for hydrogen evolution reaction. In this work, a novel interface-induced strategy is reported to achieve stable and high-percentage 1T MoS(2)through highly active 1T-MoS2/CoS(2)hetero-nanostructure. Herein, a large number of heterointerfaces can be obtained by interlinked 1T-MoS(2)and CoS(2)nanosheets in situ grown from the molybdate cobalt oxide nanorod under moderate conditions. Owing to the strong interaction between MoS(2)and CoS2, high-percentage of metallic-phase (1T) MoS(2)of 76.6% can be achieved, leading to high electroconductivity and abundant active sites compared to 2H MoS2. Furthermore, the interlinked MoS(2)and CoS(2)nanosheets can effectively disperse the nanosheets so as to enlarge the exposed active surface area. The near zero free energy of hydrogen adsorption at the heterointerface can also be achieved, indicating the fast kinetics and excellent catalytic activity induced by heterojunction. Therefore, when applied in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), 1T-MoS2/CoS(2)heterostructure delivers low overpotential of 71 and 26 mV at the current density of 10 mA cm(-2)with low Tafel slops of 60 and 43 mV dec(-1), respectively in alkaline and acidic conditions.Funding Information
