Non-noble metal nanomaterials (molybdenum sulfides, phosphides, carbides, and nitrides) have recently emerged as highly active electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Here we present experimental and theoretical studies of the first highly active molybdenum boride nanomaterial for the HER.

For more energy-efficient and economical hydrogen production, highly active noble metal-free hydrogen evolution catalysts are a priority for all. Herein, we report a facile one-pot hydrothermal synthesis of CoSe2 nanoparticles with their electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction. The synthesized CoSe2 nanoparticles have an average diameter of 50-70 nm with a uniform distribution. They also exhibited good electrocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution reaction with the onset overpotential and Tafel slope of 140 mV and 95 mV/dec, respectively. The results provide a facile and effective way for the exploration of efficient Co-based HER catalysts.
