The design of low-cost yet high-efficiency electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen (OER) over a wide pH range is highly challenging. We now report hierarchical co-assembly interacting MoS2 Co9S8 nanosheets attached on Ni3S2 nanorod arrays which are supported nickel foam (NF).
