Abstract
Rationally designed novel cost-effective hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)electrocatalysts with con-trolled surface composition and advanced structural superiority is extremely critical to optimize the HER performance.Polyoxometalates(POMs)with structural diversity and adjustable element composi-tions represent a promising precursor for rational design and preparation of HER electrocatalysts.Herein,a series of transition metal-doped MoS2 materials with different surface engineered structures(Fe,Cr,V doping and S vacancies)(M-MoS2/CC,M=Fe,Cr and V)were fabricated by a simple hydrothermal-vulcanization strategy using Keplerate polyoxomolybdate nanoball({Mo72Fe30},{Mo72Cr30},{Mo72V30},{Mo132})as precursors.The enlarged interlayer spacing as well as the integration of homogeneous transi-tion metal doping and abundant sulfur vacancies endows prepared M-MoS2/CC with superior HER elec-trocatalytic performance and excellent long-term working stability in both acidic and alkaline media.The optimized Fe-MoS2/CC afford current densities of 10 and 50mA/cm2 at overpotentials of 188/272mV and 194/394mV in 0.5mol/L H2SO4 and 1.0mol/L KOH aqueous solution,respectively,outperforming most of reported typical transition metal sulfide-based catalysts.This work represents an important breakthrough for POMs-mediated highly efficient transition metal sulfide-based HER electrocatalysts with wide range pH activity and may provide new options for the rational design of promising HER electrocatalysts and beyond.
