摘要：

Transition metal dichalcogenides are considered as one of the most attractive candidates for hydrogen evolution reactions but their inferior conductivity is utterly disappointing. Herein, by virtue of a facile, scalable hydrothermal method, MoSe2 is in-situ grown on the ultrathin titanium carbide substrate (MXene), generating a novel three-dimensional nanoflower with freestanding petals for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction. The ingenious introduction of the highly-conductive MXene as the skeleton for the MoSe2 growth significantly facilitates the charge/ion transport and a mountain of electrochemical active sites are exposed thanks to its unique three-dimensional architecture. Benefiting from these advantageous properties, the MoSe2/MXene hybrid nanoflowers exhibit a low onset potential of 61 mV vs. RHE for HER at acidic environment and around 6-fold current density increase is observed at -300 mV compared with MoSe2. Notably, they display long-term cycling viability, experiencing negligible decay after 2000 cycles. This work paves the way for future applications of MXene-based nanomaterials in other clean-energy-conversion reactions. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
