Kirkendall effect induced bifunctional hybrid electrocatalyst (Co9S8@MoS2/N-doped hollow carbon) for high performance overall water splitting

Rational design of electrocatalysts with the tuneable structural and electrocatalytic properties are essential to accomplish bifunctional activity of hydrogen and oxygen evolution reaction (HER/OER), and thus efficient water splitting systems. Here, we present a bifunctional hybrid electrocatalyst consisting of Co9S8 (OER-active) and MoS2 (HER-active) with the structural merits of hierarchical morphology, huge electrochemically active sites, and...
