Preparation of Gallium Sulfide Nanosheets by Liquid Exfoliation and Their Application As Hydrogen Evolution Catalysts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the production of large quantities of gallium sulfide (GaS) nanosheets by liquid exfoliation of layered GaS powder, achieved by sonication of the powder in suitable solvents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of liquid exfoliated transition metal dichalcogenides reveals MoSe2 to be the most effective hydrogen evolution catalyst.

TL;DR: A comprehensive study comparing the catalytic performance of electrodes consisting of porous arrays of liquid exfoliated MX2 nanosheets, finding a clear hierarchy with selenides > sulphides > tellurides with MoSe2 clearly out-performing the other materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thickness Dependence and Percolation Scaling of Hydrogen Production Rate in MoS2 Nanosheet and Nanosheet-Carbon Nanotube Composite Catalytic Electrodes

TL;DR: The performance of catalytic electrodes, fabricated from liquid exfoliated MoS2 nanosheets, can be optimized by maximizing the electrode thickness coupled with the addition of carbon nanotubes by finding the current, and so the H2 generation rate, at a given potential to increase linearly with electrode thickness to up ∼5 μm after which saturation occurs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrochemical Applications of Two-Dimensional Nanosheets: The Effect of Nanosheet Length and Thickness

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of nanosheet size and thickness on electrochemical parameters was analyzed in two representative areas: hydrogen evolution electrocatalytic electrodes and electrochemical double layer capacitor electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of percolation on the capacitance of supercapacitor electrodes prepared from composites of manganese dioxide nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes.

TL;DR: The mechanical robustness was significantly enhanced, allowing the fabrication of electrodes that were 10 times thicker than could be achieved in MnO2-only films, and large increases in capacitance scaled with nanotube content in a manner fully consistent with percolation theory.
