摘要
To greatly improve the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance, it is the key approach to expose as many active edges of MoS2 as Possible. This target is the research hotspot and difficulty of MoS2 which is a promising HER catalyst. In this work, we realized the active-edges control of MoS2 nanosheets on carbon cloth (CC) by growth control during the synthesis procedure. Moreover, MoS2 nanosheets vertically grown on carbon cloth (MoS2 perpendicular to CC) was confirmed to be the best morphology with maximum active edges exposed. Multifactors structure control resulted in abundant active-edges exposure and effective electron delivery, thus excellent HER activity. This three-dimensional cathode, MoS2 perpendicular to CC, can reach a great current density of 200 mA/cm(2) at a small overpotential of 205 mV. The preeminent HER performance can rival the best MoS2-based catalyst ever reported.
