Abstract

Abstract : Atomically dispersed Ni in β-Mo2 C (Ni/β-Mo2 C) is designed as an efficient catalyst for the HER at all pH values. The remarkable electrochemical properties of Ni/β-Mo2 C are mainly attributed to the synergistic effect between atomically dispersed Ni species and β-Mo2 C. Abstract : Atomically dispersed Ni species on β-Mo2 C (Ni/β-Mo2 C) is designed and synthesized through a simple thermal treatment process. Benefitting from the synergistic effect between Ni species and β-Mo2 C, Ni/β-Mo2 C exhibits high activities for the HER at all pH values.
