The invention belongs to the technical field of electrocatalytic
hydrogen evolution, and relates to a preparation method and application of a
molybdenum disulfide / reduced
graphene oxide-
nitrogen carbide (MoS2 / rGO-CN)
composite material. The preparation method comprises the steps of: firstly adding
graphite oxide into deionized water, adding
melamine into the obtained mixture, then performing
ultrasound dissolution so as to form a
colloidal solution, adopting a hydrothermal method to prepare
aerogel of reduced
graphene oxide-
nitrogen carbide, and then performing a
solvothermal reaction to obtain the target product by adopting
ammonium tetrathiomolybdate as a
molybdenum source and a
sulfur source and N,N-
dimethylformamide as a
solvent. The preparation method of the
aerogel of the reduced
graphene oxide-
nitrogen carbide is simple and high in yield, and since the MoS2 / rGO-CN is prepared by using the one-step solvothermal method, the preparation method has low cost and high
repeatability and facilitates large-scale synthesis; by means of the prepared MoS2 / rGO-CN
composite material, the accumulation of the
molybdenum disulfide is reduced, and the quantity of active sites is increased; the
conductivity and the active area of the MoS2 can be improved through the combination of the MoS2 with the rGO-CN, and when the prepared MoS2 / rGO-CN
composite material is applied to an electrocatalytic
hydrogen evolution reaction, excellent catalytic performance can be exhibited, and when the
current density is 10 mA.cm<-2>, the
overpotential is 203 mV, and the Tafel slope is 48 mV.dec<-1>.
