E(RHE)=E(Ag+/AgCl)+0.204V+0.0591V pH(1)
all catalysts (MoS)2,Co-MoS2,Pd-MoS2,Co-Pd-MoS2) The solutions were prepared by uniformly dispersing the corresponding 4mg catalyst and 5 μ L of 5 wt% Nafion solution in 1mL water/ethanol (4: 1 v/v). The catalyst loading on the glassy carbon electrode was calculated to be about 0.281mg/cm2。
At 25 ℃ in 10mV s-1The Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV) curve and Tafel slope (Tafel) curve were recorded.
By heating at 25 ℃ at 50mV s-1The durability test was performed by repeating a potential sweep from 0.104 to-0.296 (vs RHE) for 10,000CV cycles.
At H2Saturated 0.5M H2SO4A chronoamperometric characterization at 49.3mA (vs. RHE) overpotential for 32h was performed in the solution.
