GO content tuning gradually enhanced the HER catalytic performance of the MoS2/rGO hybrids, decreasing the Tafel slope from 82 to 48 mV per decade owing to an increase of catalytically active areas and an electronic transition of MoS2.

We report a supramolecular porous organic cage platform composed of cobalt porphyrins for catalyzing the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) from water at neutral pH. Owing to its permanent porosity, the supramolecular structure yields a catalyst film with a 5-fold increase in the number of electrochemically active cobalt atoms and an improvement in Tafel slope from 170 mV/decade to 119 mV/decade compared to a planar cobalt porphyrin analog, reaching activities over 19,000 turnovers for HER over a 24-hour period with 100% Faradaic efficiency.

Abstract In order to evaluate the effect of precursors and synthesis strategies on catalytic ability of Mo2C in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), four kinds of Mo2C were synthesized using two kinds of MoO3 by two strategies. Compared with the one-step direct carbonization strategy, Mo2C with a large special surface area and a better performance could be synthesized by the two-step strategy composed of a nitridation reaction and a carbonization reaction. Additionally, the as-prepared porous Mo2C nanobelts (NBs) exhibit good electrocatalytic performance with a small overpotential of 165 mV (0.5 M H2SO4) and 124 mV (1 M KOH) at 10 mA cm-2, as well as a Tafel slope of 58 mV dec-1 (0.5 M H2SO4) and 59 mV dec-1 (1 M KOH). The excellent catalytic activity is ascribed to the nano crystallites and porous structure. What’s more, the belt structure also facilitates the charge transport in the materials during the electrocatalytic HER process. Therefore, the two-step strategy provides a new insight into the structural design with superior performance for electrocatalytic HER.
