MoS2 nanosheet/Mo2C-embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes: synthesis and electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution performance

Abstract
In situ solid and subsequent hydrothermal reactions were developed to grow ultrathin MoS2 nanosheets on Mo2C-embedded N-doped carbon nanotubes. As applied as electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution, the hybrid nanotubes exhibited excellent catalytic activity.
