The invention relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation and application, in particular to a
molybdenum disulfide catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.The preparation method comprises the steps that
chromium salt,
thiourea and
ammonium molybdate are dissolved in deionized water, a pretreated conductive substrate is added, and a uniform self-supporting
chromium-doped
molybdenum disulfide
nanosheet array is synthesized through a one-step hydrothermal method. The
electronic structure of
molybdenum disulfide is regulated and controlled through
chromium doping, the catalytic
reaction energy barrier is reduced, and the
conductivity and the catalytic performance are improved. The prepared chromium-doped
molybdenum disulfide ultrafine
nanosheet catalyst has good catalytic activity when being used for
hydrogen evolution reaction. In a three-
electrode alkaline
electrolytic cell hydrogen production
system, the
current density of 10 mA cm <-2 > can be output by only needing the low potential of 0.142 V, and the target of efficient and energy-saving
hydrogen production is achieved. The method has the advantages of simple and controllable preparation process, low preparation cost, large-scale production and the like, and can be used as an
efficient catalyst for water
electrolysis hydrogen production reaction.
