Abstract

3D dendritic WSe₂ on conductive carbon nanofiber mats (d-WSe₂/CFM) was designed and synthesized by a diffusion-controlled CVD method. The d-WSe₂/CFM was directly used as a cathode for the HER. The substantially improved HER performance is ascribed to the novel 3D structure with effectively exposed edge sites.
