Ultra-thin and porous MoSe2 nanosheets: facile preparation and enhanced electrocatalytic activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

In this study, ultra-thin and porous molybdenum selenide (MoSe2) nanosheets were prepared through a modified liquid exfoliation method as efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). This novel structure enables the exposure of more catalytically active sites and moreover maintains effective electron transport, resulting in a small peak potential of ∼75 mV as well as long-term durability. In addition, due to the facile and economical preparation method as well as its eco-friendly synthetic conditions, this study provides a high-performance HER catalyst with promising commercial application prospects.
