Snowflake-like Metastable Wurtzite CuGaS₂/MoS₂ Composite with Superior Electrochemical HER Activity.

ABSTRACT: In the present work, we report the synthesis of wurtzite CuGaS₂ and its composite with MoS₂ and explored their efficacy toward two important applications, viz. electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and adsorption of Rhodamine B dye. The CuGaS₂ was synthesized via a low-temperature ethylenediamine-mediated solvothermal method. The obtained products were characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to ascertain the phase formation, surface morphology, and elemental oxidation states. The electrocatalytic activity of the wurtzite CuGaS₂ and CuGaS₂/MoS₂ composites toward HER was invest
