Core/shell 1T/2H-MoS nanoparticle induced synergistic effects for enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction.

Green hydrogen is a highly sought-after clean fuel for the next generation of engines aimed at achieving net-zero emissions. Herein, we design and fabricate a mixed-phase core/shell nanoparticles consisting of a semiconducting 2H-MoS core and a metallic 1T-MoS coating. The core/shell exhibits spherical morphology with an average diameter of 60 nm.
