A novel CoP/MoS2-CNTs hybrid catalyst with Pt-like activity for hydrogen evolution†
Abstract
A novel and highly active hybrid catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is constructed by the in situ growth of CoP on the surface of MoS2 and CNTs. The CoP/MoS2-CNTs hybrid catalyst exhibits Pt-like catalytic activity for the HER with an overpotential close to zero, a Tafel slope of 42 mV dec−1 and good stability, which is the best among all non-noble metal catalysts.
