Abstract

Exploring noble-metal-free electrocatalysts with high efficiency for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) holds promise for advancing the production of H2 fuel through water splitting. Herein, one-pot synthesis was introduced for MoS2–Ni3S2 heteronanorods supported by Ni foam (MoS2–Ni3S2 HNRs/NF), in which the Ni3S2 nanorods were hierarchically integrated with MoS2 nanosheets. The hierarchical MoS2–Ni3S2 heteronanorods allow not only the good exposure of highly active heterointerfaces but also the facilitated charge transport along Ni3S2 nanorods anchored on conducting nickel foam, accomplishing the promoted kinetics and activity for HER, OER, and overall water…
