摘要
In this work, highly porous MoS 2 nanostructures have been synthesized via a one-pot and versatile calcination of cyanamide and (NH 4 ) 2 MoS 4 precursors. At first, the thermal polymerization of cyanamide into carbon nitride suppresses the aggregation of MoS 2 . Then, the thermal decomposition of the formed carbon nitride brings about plentiful pores with a size of 4–70 nm in MoS 2 nanostructures, generating an extremely large specific surface area up to 311 m 2 g −1 . Due to the high specific surface area and abundant exposed edge sites, the resultant porous MoS 2 (p-MoS 2 ) nanostructures exhibited outstanding electrochemical hydrogen evolution (HER) activity in a 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 aqueous solution. The onset overpotential and the overpotential at a current density of 10 mA/cm 2 were as low as ∼30 mV and ∼130 mV, respectively, which is superior to the previously-reported MoS 2 -based HER electrocatalysts.
