Herein, we report a high-performance amorphous CoMoS4 nanosheet array on carbon cloth （CoMoS4 NS/CC）, prepared by hydrothermal treatment of a Co（OH）F nanosheet array on a carbon cloth （Co（OH）F NS/CC） in （NH4）2MoS4 solution. As a three-dimensional HER electrode, CoMoS4 NS/CC exhibits remarkable activity in 1.0 M phosphate buffer saline （pH 7）, only requiring an overpotential of 183 mV to drive a geometrical current density of 10 mA·cm-2. This overpotential is 140 mV lower than that for Co（OH）F NS/CC. Notably, this electrode also shows outstanding electrochemical durability and nearly 100% Faradaic efficiency. Density functional theory calculations suggest that CoMoS4 has a more favorable hydrogen adsorption free energy than Co（OH）F.展开更多
