A straightforward MoS2 spray-coating method was applied to rigid, flexible, porous and 3D-printed carbon-based surfaces, yielding improved performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction.
Ultra-high-density ReSe2 nanoflakes with uniform small 2D size were grown on porous carbon cloth by CVD. The 2D/3D construction gave more active catalytic sites, and the small size effect and the interfacial C–Se bonding facilitated electron transport between ReSe2 and PCC.
