Abstract

Abstract : The Se-doped MoS2 was prepared via a facile annealing process and exhibited enhanced catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction. Abstract : Thanks to the increase in the number of active sites and enhanced conductivity, the Se-doped MoS2 shows excellent catalytic activity with a lower overpotential of −140 mV and a smaller Tafel slope of 55 mV dec −1, exhibiting enhanced catalytic performance compared with that of pristine MoS2 . This work offers an attractive strategy to improve the HER activity of MoS2 -based catalysts.
