Abstract
Pd nanoparticles modified MoS2 nanoflowers assembled by lamellar nanosheets have been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal method. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM, Nanoscope III), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and evaluated as electrochemical catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). It was found that Pd modified MoS2 (MoS2
