Abstract

Creating efficient hydrogen production properties from the macroscopic assembly of two-dimensional materials is still an unaccomplished goal. Here we report a facile route to fabricate a flexible MoS₂/PtNPs/SWCNT paper with an ultralow onset potential of -35 mV, a Tafel slope of 39.6 mV per decade and over 60 h of electrochemical durability.
