Rhenium anchored Ti₃C₂T _x (MXene) nanosheets for electrocatalytic hydrogen production.

ABSTRACT: Atomically thin Ti₃C₂T _x (MXene) nanosheets with rich termination groups, acting as active sites for effective functionalization, are used as an efficient solid support to host rhenium (Re) nanoparticles for the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The newly designed electrocatalyst - Re nanoparticles anchored on Ti₃C₂T _x MXene nanosheets (Re@Ti₃C₂T _x ) - exhibited promising catalytic activity with a low overpotential of 298 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mV cm^-2, while displaying excellent stability. In comparison, the pristine Ti₃C₂T _x MXene requires higher overpotential of 584 mV to obtain the sam
