Formation of Ni-doped MoS2 nanosheets on N-doped carbon nanotubes towards superior hydrogen evolution

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the promising candidates for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), it’s HER properties can be extremely enhanced by the construction of nanostructure and the regulation of electronic structure. In this paper, hierarchical composites with MoS2 and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as the noble metal-free electrocatalysts for HER were fabricated through calcination and hydrothermal processes, in which the MoS2 nanosheets...
