Summary: | SnSe with layered structure, as a member of 2D materials and transition metal chalcogenides, is a promising candidate of electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution. Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) is an excellent substrate of electrocatalyst. In this work, SnSe nanosheets (NSs) had been prepared via liquid exfoliation, and the as-prepared SnSe NSs had been hybridized with RGO by a simple hydrothermal method. The SnSe/RGO hybrid shows superior hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance and charge transfer capability than SnSe NSs. In addition, it exhibits a superior HER performance in 1.0 M H

and a Tafel slope determined to be only 97.56 mV/dec. Moreover, the SnSe/RGO hybrid as working electrode is provided with excellent durability, which is capable of maintaining working current for 10 h. As demonstrated above, relative high activity and stability and low price make the SnSe/RGO hybrid a promising electrocatalyst. |
