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.

Electrides have emerged as promising materials with exotic properties, such as extraordinary electron-donating ability. However, the inevitable instability of electrides, which is caused by inherent excess electrons, has hampered their widespread applications. We report that a self-passivated dihafnium sulfide electride ([Hf2S]2+∙2e−) by double amorphous layers exhibits a strong oxidation resistance in water and acid solutions, enabling a persistent electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction. The naturally formed amorphous Hf2S layer on the cleaved [Hf2S]2+∙2e− surface reacts with oxygen to form an outermost amorphous HfO2 layer with ~10-nm thickness, passivating the [Hf2S]2+∙2e− electride. The excess electrons in the [Hf2S]2+∙2e− electride are transferred through the thin HfO2 passivation layer to water molecules under applied electric fields, demonstrating the first electrocatalytic reaction with excellent long-term sustainability and no degradation in performance. This self-passivation mechanism in reactive conditions can advance the development of stable electrides for energy-efficient applications.
