The synthesis of nanostructures catalytic electrode for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) plays an important role in national economy such as chlor-alkali industry, chemical power supply and fuel cell. Electro-splitting of water powered by electric energy has attracted extensive attention because this process can convert electric energy into chemical energy for easier storage and delivery. In this work, a facile and direct synthesis of NiCo2O4 nanoneedles and MoS2 nanoflakes grown on 316L stainless steel meshes substrate by two step hydrothermal method was reported. Initially MoS2 nanoflakes grown on the stainless steel (SS) meshes, and then NiCo2O4 nanoneedles were grown on MoS2/SS meshes at optimum conditions using hydrothermal method. The prepared nanostructures were characterized by SEM, TEM and XRD. Then a three-electrode system was used to test the property of HER. The results show that the as-prepared electrode exhibits good catalytic behavior towards HER. The onset overpotential and Tafel slope are 65 mV and 108 mV/dec respectively. When the current density reaches 100 mA/cm(2), the overpotential is 219.6 mV. Furthermore, the composite structure exhibits good cycle stability in the same experimental conditions.
