synthesized by a diffusion-controlled CVD method. The d-WSe2/CFM was directly used as a cathode for the HER. The substantially improved HER performance is ascribed to the novel 3D structure with effectively exposed edge sites.
3D dendritic WSe2 on conductive carbon nanofiber mats (d-WSe2/CFM) was designed and synthesized by a diffusion-controlled CVD method. The d-WSe2/CFM was directly used as a cathode for the HER. The substantially improved HER performance is ascribed to the novel 3D structure with effectively exposed edge sites.
