Recently, transition-metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 have been considered for
application in hydrogen evolution catalysis. However, its use in the form of a single MoS2
material is limited owing to its low charge-transfer rate. In this study, a MoS2–Pd–Pt catalyst
was fabricated on carbon paper using a simple two-step synthesis method. MoS2 and MoS2–
Pd were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method, and a small amount of Pt was

Recently, transition-metal dichalcogenides such as MoS2 have been considered for application in hydrogen evolution catalysis. However, its use in the form of a single MoS2 material is limited owing to its low charge-transfer rate. In this study, a MoS2–Pd–Pt catalyst was fabricated on carbon paper using a simple two-step synthesis method. MoS2 and MoS2–Pd were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method, and a small amount of Pt was electrodeposited on the prepared sample using a three-electrode system. The nanostructure of MoS2–Pd has more defects than the structure of MoS2, and the exposure of active sites is high, which is advantageous for the Pt deposition process. In the Pt electrodeposition process, MoS2–Pd exhibited a higher deposition efficiency and stability than MoS2 in an acidic medium. Although an exceedingly small amount of Pt was deposited, the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) properties of MoS2–Pd–Pt significantly improved compared to those of MoS2–Pd. Moreover, MoS2–Pd–Pt exhibited an excellent catalytic activity with a lower overpotential (−64 mV at 10 mA/cm2) compared to those of MoS2 (−253 mV) and MoS2–Pd (−204 mV), thereby proving it to be a promising electrocatalyst for the HER as an alternative to Pt.
