    Abstract
  • Electrochemical catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) have attracted increasing attentions. Noble metal-free cocatalysts play a vital role in HER applications. Herein, a novel strategy to prepare a Ni2P/MoS2 cocatalyst through a simple hydrothermal-phosphorization method was reported, and the prepared cocatalyst was then loaded on an N-doped carbon substrate with excellent conductive performance. The large surface area of the carbon substrate provided many active sites, and the interface between Ni2P and MoS2 improved the catalytic performance for the HER. Compared with pure Ni2P catalyst and MoS2 catalyst, the prepared Ni2P/MoS2 cocatalyst exhibited enhanced catalytic performance. In addition, the results indicate that the prepared cocatalyst has a wide pH range and low onset potential values of 280, 350 and 40 mV in acidic, phosphate-buffered saline and alkaline solutions, respectively, and the corresponding Tafel slopes are 75, 121 and 95 mV dec-1, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) was adopted to calculate the hydrogen adsorption free energy (ΔGH*). The results showed that the interface between Ni2P and MoS2 reduced ΔGH*, which was beneficial to the adsorption of hydrogen. Present preparation of cocatalysts with unique interfaces provides a new strategy for improving the catalytic performance of HER.
