摘要
The present work reports on the preparation of Mo2C nanoparticles decorated graphitic carbon sheets (Mo2C/GCSs) via a biopolymer-derived solid-state reaction between (NH4)(6)Mo7O24 center dot 4H(2)O and sodium alginate at 900 degrees C under Ar. As a novel hydrogen evolution reaction electrocatalytst, the Mo2C/GCSs hybrids exhibit high activity in acidic solutions with an onset potential of 120 mV, a Tafel slope of 62.6 mV dec(-1), and an exchange current density of 12.5 x 10(-3) mA cm(-2). Moreover, such Mo2C/GCSs catalysts also show excellent durability during long-term 3000 cycles.
