Zusammenfassung: | CoSe
2
is a typical transition metal chalcogenide and an hydrogen evolution reaction hydrogen evolution catalyst due to its efficient and inexpensive characteristics. In this work, CoSe
2
/CNT composite was synthesized through a one-step solvothermal method. Specifically, a current density of 10 mA cm
−2
can be achieved under an overpotential of 163 mV, and the Tafel slope is 69.4 mV dec
−1
. The reasons for these excellent performances are: 1) the abundant catalytic active sites of CoSe
2
; 2) the high conductivity of CNTs; and 3) the synergistic effect between CoSe
2
and CNTs; iv the solar irradiation excites electrons to join the reaction. This work proposes a new way to reasonably design the high-efficiency and low-cost transition metal chalcogenide hydrogen evolution catalysts. |
