Introducing a self-improving catalyst for hydrogen evolution and efficient catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction

Herein, MoS2/Ni3S2 nano-cubic rods (NCR) is fabricated on Ni foam via a two-step process including modified solution method and thiourea phosphate-assisted strategy. The resultant material serves as a self-improving high intrinsic catalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), and exhibits desirable activity for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media. Results demonstrated that two different phases of MoS2 and Ni3S2 along with the...
