Abstract
Metal–organic frame materials (MOFs) create ordered spatial structures through organic bridges and metal ion centers. This microstructure can effectively disperse the active centers. In this work, CuCo-MOF was firstly prepared by hydrothermal method and then physically mixed with MoS2. The prepared materials were applied to study the catalytic performance for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The results show that the overpotential and Tafel slope of CuCo-MOF/MoS2 are 336 mV and 75 mV dec−1. The addition of MoS2 can effectively reduce the stacking of MOFs and increase the effective contact area with the reactants and promote charge/mass transport as well as enhance the catalytic activity. In addition, MoS2 has strong viscosity, and when it is mixed with MOF, the stability of the composite can be improved. The good OER performance of CuCo-MOF/MoS2 provides a reference for the exploration of a novel OER catalyst.
