One-step facile hydrothermal synthesis of rGO-CoS2 nanocomposites for high performance HER electrocatalysts

초록

With increasing demand for green and clean energy, the research community moves toward electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Herein, we synthesized the reduced graphene oxide decorated-cobalt disulfide (rGO-CoS2) nanocomposites via the one-step facile hydrothermal method and investigated their excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities. The rGO-CoS2 nanocomposites showed an aggregated structure of spherical CoS2 nanoparticles interconnected along with GO nanosheets. The rGO-CoS2 nanocomposites exhibited a low overpotential of 377 mV and a small Tafel slope of 121 mV/dec. This work delivers a prospective scheme for developing the high efficient rGO-CoS2 electrocatalysts for future green energy technology in hydrogen production. © 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
