A novel three-dimensional (3D) layered MoS₂@graphene functionalized with nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (MoS₂@N-GQDs-GR) composites as an enhanced electrochemical hydrogen evolution catalyst. The few layered MoS₂ nanoflowers supported on N-GQDs-GR surface were elaborately fabricated by one-pot hydrothermal method, which MoS₂ and N-GQDs-GR exist in a bonding manner of Mo-N. In addition, due to the layered MoS₂ sheet edge exposes more hydrogen evolution active sites and N-GQDs-GR have high conductivity, the composites exhibit prominent electrocatalytic activity with a low overpotential 99 mV, a small Tafel slope 49.3 mV/dec. Therefore, that the current work will develop HER catalysts may replace Pt.
