Ternary molybdenum disulfide nanosheets-cobalt oxide nanocubes-platinum composite as efficient electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction

Molybdenum Disulfide Nanosheets Decorated with Platinum Nanoparticle as a High Active Electrocatalyst in Hydrogen Evolution Reaction

“…Therefore, control of Pt size and avoiding its agglomeration are favourable strategies to enance its electrocatalytic activity [ 15 ]. Consequently, it is very effective to deposit Pt nanoparticles with high homogeneity on the supporting materials such as conductive polymers, carbon, metal oxide, and sulfide[ 16 ] The supporting materials typically provide accessibility and stabilization platforms for nanoparticle growth and bring about modified reactivity and additional adsorption and active sites [ 17 ] Therefore, the decoration of Pt nanostructures such as nanostructure on supporting materials not only enhances the physiochemical properties of supporting materials but also prevents agglomeration of Pt, which influences the activity of composite towards HER [ 18 – 21 ]. Newly, earth plentiful source, high efficiency, and affordable transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are considered good alternatives for HER.…”
