Enhanced optical, magnetic and hydrogen evolution reaction properties of Mo_1-x Ni _x S₂ nanoflakes.

ABSTRACT: Due to exceptional electronic, optoelectronic and catalytic properties, MoS₂ has attracted extensive research interest in various applications. In the present scenario, the exploitation of noble-metal-free catalysts for hydrogen evolution is of great interest. Herein, we report the structural, optical, magnetic and electrocatalytic properties of pure and nickel-substituted MoS₂ nanostructures synthesized by the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis reveals that all samples exhibit the hexagonal structure of MoS₂ and the formation of NiS₂ at higher concentrations of nickel. Vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) measurements of the Mo_1-x Ni _x S₂ nanostructures show a hysteresis loop at ro
