Abstract

A MoS_2(1-x)P_x solid solution (x = 0 to 1) is formed by thermally annealing mixtures of MoS₂ and red phosphorus. The effective and stable electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution in acidic solution holds promise for replacing scarce and expensive platinum that is used in present catalyst systems. The high performance originates from the increased surface area and roughness of the solid solution.
