Abstract
Abstract The layered structures of MoS2 tend to stack and aggregate and result in decreasing of rims and edges of MoS2 nanosheets, which greatly limited the improvement of activity of MoS2 as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, owing to the inert nature of (002) basal plane of MoS2 for HER, we propose that oriented stacking along vertical (002) plane can form nanocolumn structure, which may expose an increased number of the active sites per mass and accelerate charge transfer rate for HER. The electrochemical measurements confirm that the nanocolumns of oriented stacking of MoS2 (O-MoS2) have much better {HER} activity than bulk MoS2 and randomly stacking of MoS2 with about 25 times enhancement of electrochemically active surface area (ECSA). Therefore, assembling style along vertical inert plane may be a novel way to enhance {HER} performances of layered transition metal sulfides.
