Fullerene-based low-dimensional (LD)
heterostructures have emerged
as excellent energy conversion materials. We constructed van der Waals
1T-MoS2/C60 0D-2D heterostructures via a one-pot
synthetic approach for catalytic hydrogen generation. The interfacial
1T-MoS2–C60 and C60–C60 interactions as well as their electrocatalytic properties
were finely controlled by varying the weight percentages of the fullerenes.
1T-MoS2 platforms provided a novel template for the formation
of C60 nanosheets (NSs) within a very narrow fullerene
concentration range. The heterostructure domains of 1T-MoS2 and C60 NSs exhibited excellent hydrogen evolution reaction
(HER) performances, with one of the lowest onset potentials and ΔG
H* values for LD non-precious nanomaterials
reported to date.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
