In this paper, we report a synthesis of free-standing three-dimensional hierarchical MoS_2/CoS_2 heterostructure arrays through a convenient process. The investigation of electrocatalytic HER performance suggests that the MoS_2/CoS_2 hybrid catalyst exhibits significant enhancement in HER(onsetpotential and potential at a current density of 100 mA cm^(-2) are 20 mV and125 mV, respectively) and superior durability(no shift of current density is observed after a continuous scanning of 3000 times) compared with individual CoS_2 and MoS_2. The superior HER performance was attributed to the formation of the interface between CoS_2 and MoS_2 through the electrochemical characterization, Raman, XPS analysis, and the control experiment. The lower onsetpotential, higher current density, excellent durability, and the free-standing structure of the three-dimensional hierarchical MoS_2/CoS_2 heterostructure array make it a promising cathode catalyst suitable for widespread application.展开更多
