Phosphorus-doped CoS2 nanosheet arrays as ultra-efficient electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction.

In this communication, we, for the first time, prepared phosphorus-doped cobalt disulfide nanosheets as highly advanced electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. It was demonstrated that P doping could significantly enhance the electrocatalytic performance of CoS2 nanosheets in terms of onset overpotential, Tafel slope, exchange current density, and stability.
