Abstract:
Recently, the rational design of stable and efficient electrocatalysts remains a major challenge for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) under alkaline conditions. Herein, using zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) as a template, we successively deposited ammonium molybdate and wrapped the complex of trithiocyanuric acid (TCA) and Cu. Through one-step high-temperature sulfidation, the CoS@MoS2/Cu2S@NC catalyst with porous, ball-in-ball, and yolk-shell structures was successfully synthesized. This unique structure can effectively increase the specific surface area, enhance mass transport, and expose more active sites. Additionally, the synergistic effect between N-doped C and various active components such as metal sulfides enhances the electrochemical activity of the catalyst. Based on these advantages, CoS@MoS2/Cu2S@NC requires only 149, 175, and 199 mV overpotentials to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline water, simulated alkaline seawater, and alkaline seawater, separately, accompanied by low Tafel slopes of 76.8, 74.7, and 87.3 mV·dec−1. Furthermore, 2000 cycles of cyclic voltammetry (CV) and a 100-h durability test demonstrate its excellent catalytic stability. This work offers a strategy for designing transition metal sulfide catalysts with high catalytic activity and sustainability. © 2025 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
