Development of non-noble-metal catalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) with both excellent activity and robust stability has remained a key challenge in the past decades. Herein, first time, N-doped carbon-wrapped cobalt nanoparticles supported on graphene nanosheets were prepared by facile solvothermal procedure subsequent calcination at controlled temperatures.
