ultrathin thickness and rich defects were grown on the surface of
carbon fiber cloth by a facile solvent-thermal method. The active
area and conductivity of the MoSe2 catalyst were increased
simultaneously because of the NH4F etching effect and its
incorporation with carbon fiber cloth. As a result, the MoSe2-based catalysts exhibited excellent HER activity including small
onset potential, large exchange current density and small Tafel slope,
which is superior to most of MoSe2-based catalysts reported
previously.
