Porous MS2/MO2 (M = W, Mo) Nanorods as Efficient Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Catalysts

Highly efficient and stable electrochemical catalysts of porous one-dimensional (1D) MS2/MO2 (M = W, Mo) nanorods have been developed for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The materials are synthesized via a "low-temperature conversion" method. The as-prepared catalysts exhibit numerous advantages: abundant amount of exposed MS2 edges, high conductivity, and enhanced mass transport. The MS2/MO2 nanorods show efficient HER activity.
