Abstract

A Mo₂C quantum dot (averagely 2 nm) embedded N-doped graphitic carbon layer (Mo₂C QD/NGCL) is prepared through a simple, green and scalable solid-state reaction. This material exhibits remarkable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity and durability at all pH values owing to the synergistic effect between Mo₂C QDs and NGCLs.
