Efficient electrochemical hydrogen evolution activity of nanostructured AgPO/MoS heterogeneous composite catalyst.

Hydrogen (H) generation by electrochemical water splitting is a key technique for sustainable energy applications. Two-dimensional (2D) transition-metal dichalcogenide (MoS) and silver phosphate (AgPO) possess excellent electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties when they are combined together as a composite rather than individuals. Reports examining the HER activity by using AgPO, especially, in combination with the 2D layered MoS are limited in literature.
