Abstract

Read online

A MoS2-nanosheet-decorated C-N/Co4S3 (C-N/Co4S3@MoS2) nanorod with multi-defects was synthesized by using a core-shell zeolitic imidazole framework (ZIF-8@ZIF-67) as the precursor. The C-N/Co4S3@MoS2 hybrid showed high activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction and the oxygen evolution reaction. This work provides a new strategy to find MoS2-based bifunctional electrocatalysts through MOF precursors. Keywords: MoS2 nanosheet, Hydrogen evolution reaction, Oxygen evolution reaction, Bifunctional electrocatalyst
