Abstract

CoAl-layered double hydroxide nanosheets (CoAl-NSs) could serve as an active matrix to effectively anchor amorphous MoS_x nanoparticles with high dispersion and the formation of an additional active “CoMoS” phase. The resulting CoAl-NSs/MoS_x catalyst showed 13 times higher H₂ evolution activity than free MoS_x nanoparticles from an erythrosin B–triethanolamine (ErB–TEOA) system under visible light.
