Abstract
Abstract The layered crystal MoS 2 has been proposed as an alternative to noble metals as the electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the activity of this catalyst is limited by the number of available edge sites. It was previously shown that, by using an imidazolium ionic liquid as synthesis medium, nanometre-size crystal layers of MoS 2 can be prepared which exhibit a very high number of active edge sites as well as a ...
