摘要
New nanocomposites based on transition metal dichalcogenides, MoWCoS and MoWCuS, were synthesized through one step hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) techniques as well as field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirmed the synthesis of nanocomposites. For investigation of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties of new nanocomposites, linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) was applied for this purpose. According to the results of similar previous works, the prepared nanocomposites showed promising HER properties as low overpotential equal to 41.4 mV/dec for MoWCoS hybridized with reduced graphene (G) and a little higher one equal to 49 mV/dec for MoWCuS hybridized with reduced graphene. Based on obtained Tafel slopes 38 and 53 mV/dec for MoWCoS/G and MoWCuS/G, respectively, the "Heyrovsky-Volmer" mechanism was suggested for the new HER three component nanocatalysts as the first effort to this purpose.
