The nano-porous Ni-Co alloy was prepared by rapid solidification and dealloying. After vapor deposition of sulfur and hot hydrogen reduction, nano-porous Co₉S₈/Ni₃S₂ composite electrode materials with surface mesoporous were prepared. The results showed that sulfur atoms and Ni-Co alloys formed CoS₂/NiS₂ composite phases in situ, and after thermal hydrogen reduction, Co₉S₈/Ni₃S₂ composite phase with a low sulfur atom ratio was formed. This thermal hydrogen reduction process not only increases the electron density around the Co₉S₈/Ni₃S₂ elements, but also modulates heterogeneous interface with mesoporous structure, which improves the electron transport capacity and increases the active surface area. Compared with other Ni and Co sulfides that were prepared under the same condition, Co₉S₈/Ni₃S₂ had better hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity. When current density was 50 mA·cm^-2, the hydrogen evolution overpotential of Co₉S₈/Ni₃S₂ was 234 mV, and Tafel slope was 106 mV·dec^-1. After stabilization test, the voltage changed only 14 mV.
