Massively synthesizable nickel-doped 1T-MoS2 nanosheet catalyst as an efficient tri-functional catalyst.

In this study, a nickel (Ni)-doped 1T-MoS2 catalyst, an efficient tri-functional hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst, was massively synthesized at high pressure (over 15 bar). The morphology, crystal structure, and chemical and optical properties of the Ni-doped 1T-MoS2 nanosheet catalyst were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and ring rotating disk electrodes (RRDE), and the OER/ORR properties were characterized using lithium-air cells. Our results confirmed that highly pure, uniform, monolayer Ni-doped 1T-MoS2 can be successfully prepared. The as-prepared catalysts exhibited excellent electrocatalytic activity for OER, HER, and ORR owing to the enhanced basal plane activity of Ni doping and formidable active edge sites resulting from the phase transition to a highly crystalline 1T structure from 2H and amorphous MoS2. Therefore, our study provides a massive and straightforward strategy to produce tri-functional catalysts.
