Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Composite materials</bold>: Tungsten disulfide and WS₂/reduced graphene oxide (WS₂/rGO) nanosheets were fabricated by hydrothermal synthesis using tungsten chloride, thioacetamide, and graphene oxide (GO) as starting materials. The WS₂ nanosheets are efficiently templated on the rGO layer. The WS₂/rGO hybrid nanosheets show much better electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction (see picture) than WS₂ nanosheets alone.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg4t3jf1gd" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
