摘要：To achieve efficient conversion of renewable energy sources through water splitting, low-cost, earth-abundant, and robust electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) are required. Herein, vertically aligned oxygenated-CoS2-MoS2(O-CoMoS) heteronanosheets grown on flexible carbon fiber cloth as bifunctional electrocatalysts have been produced by use of the Anderson-type (NH4)4[CoIIMo6O24H6]·6H2O polyoxometalate as bimetal precursor. In comparison to different O-FeMoS, O-NiMoS, and MoS2nanosheet arrays, the O-CoMoS heteronanosheet array exhibited low overpotentials of 97 and 272 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2in alkaline solution for the HER and OER, respectively. Assembled as an electrolyzer for overall water splitting, O-CoMoS heteronanosheets as both the anode and cathode deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2at a quite low cell voltage of 1.6 V. This O-CoMoS architecture is highly advantageous for a disordered structure, exposure of active heterointerfaces, a 'highway' of charge transport on two-dimensional conductive channels, and abundant active catalytic sites from the synergistic effect of the heterostructures, accomplishing a dramatically enhanced performance for the OER, HER, and overall water splitting. This work represents a feasible strategy to explore efficient and stable bifunctional bimetal sulfide electrocatalysts for renewable energy applications. © 2018 American Chemical Society.
