Construction of an Amethyst-like MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4 Rod Electrocatalyst for Overall Water Splitting
Transition metal sulphide electrocatalytic materials possess the bright overall water-splitting performance of practical electrocatalytic technologies. In this study, an amethyst-like MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4rod electrocatalyst was constructed via a one-step hydrothermal method with in-situ-grown ZIF-67 nanoparticles on nickel foam (NF) as a precursor. The rational design and synthesis of MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4endow the catalyst with neat nanorods morphology and high conductivity. The MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4/NF with the amethyst-like rod structure exposes abundant active sites and displays fast electron-transfer capability. The resultant MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4/NF exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic activities, with low overpotentials of 81.24 mV (HER) at 10 mA cm−2and 159.67 mV (OER) at 50 mA cm−2in 1.0 M KOH solution. The full-cell voltage of overall water splitting only achieves 1.45 V at 10 mA cm−2. The successful preparation of the amethyst-like MoS2@Ni9S8/Co3S4rod electrocatalyst provides a reliable reference for obtaining efficient electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.
