Abstract

A litchi-like MoS_x-Fe@UiO-66-(OH)₂ nanocomposite with amorphous MoS_x-Fe nanoparticles uniformly anchored on the surface of UiO-66-(OH)₂ is synthesized through sequential room-temperature redox and coordination reaction. The composite exhibits high catalytic activity and durability for hydrogen evolution in an acidic electrolyte, delivering 1000 mA cm^-2 at -297 mV and outperforming Pt/C under high current densities.
