Loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) is a common freshwater commercial fish species in China. The meat of this fish is a good source of protein and other nutrients that are needed for human health. Aquaculture challenges such as diseases and pest susceptibility, excessive density, and nutritional deficiency result in low production of loach rather than increased demand.

Two-dimensional/one-dimensional (2D/1D) heterostructures have received much attention from researchers for their abundant catalytically active sites and low contact resistance due to formation of chemical bonds at the interface. The investigation of such heterostructures, however, is confined to lattice-matched materials, which severely limits the material candidates. Herein, we demonstrate a lattice-mismatched 2D/1D heterostructured electrocatalyst consisting of 2D ReS nanosheets and 1D CoS nanowires.

Ultra-high-density rhenium diselenide (ReSe2) nanoflakes were synthesized on a porous carbon cloth (PCC) by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Besides the two-dimensional/three-dimensional (2D/3D) construction with more active catalytic sites, the small size effect together with the interfacial C-Se bonding facilitated the electron transport between ReSe2 and PCC. Hence, the heat-treated ReSe2@PCC with enhanced charge transport is by far the best performance electrode for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) among the state-of-the-art ReX2-based electrodes.

Two-dimensional electrocatalysts with high-density active sites together with a good charge transfer to the conductive substrates can improve their hydrogen evolution reaction performances. Typically, a good contact between catalyst and electrode to enhance charge transfer can be achieved by way of direct growth. However, a controllable growth of vertically aligned two-dimensional ReSe directly on conductive substrates as working electrodes is not reported.
