Abstract Scope |
With the increase in the global consumption of energy, the need to meet the growing energy demands has put significant pressure on the current means of energy production. To meet this demand, water splitting has seen substantial efforts in developing catalytically active materials that replace costly materials to allow for economically viable implementations. This effort will focus on the electrodeposition of Mo1-xCoxS2 that is integrated with carbon nanotubes. We will report on an investigation in the electrodeposition and characterization of varying transition metal concentrations in Mo1-xCoxS2 and its effect on the physical, electronic, and catalytic properties. In addition, carbon nanotubes will be utilized as the substrate in order to facilitate an increased number of active sites as well as minimizing the high kinetic barrier for the electrochemical reactions. Through electrodepositing catalytically active Mo1-xCoxS2 on carbon nanotubes, this effort demonstrates improved water splitting efficiency over current, low-cost materials. |
