Phosphorene-quantum-dot-interspersed few-layered MoS2 hybrids as efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution

Abstract

0-D/2-D hybrids made up of phosphorene quantum dot (PQD)-interspersed few-layered MoS₂ nanosheets were demonstrated to be efficient electrocatalysts with remarkable bifunctional electrocatalytic activity for oxygen and hydrogen evolution in an alkaline medium. The excellent performance of the PQD/MoS₂ hybrids was attributed to their unique morphology, which facilitated charge transfer, leading to improved HER and OER kinetics.
