Ultrathin small MoS₂ nanosheets exhibit a higher electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction. However, strong interactions between MoS₂ layers may result in aggregation; together with the low conductivity of MoS₂, this may lower its electrocatalytic activity. In this paper we present a method that we developed to directly produce solid S, N co-doped carbon (SNC) with a graphite structure and multiple surface groups through a hydrothermal route. When Na₂MoO₄ was added to the reaction, polymolybdate could be anchored into the carbon materials via a chemical interaction that helps polymolybdate disperse uniformly into the SNC. After a high temperature treatment, polymolybdate transformed into MoS₂ at 800 ℃ for 6 h in a N₂ atmosphere at a heating rate of 5 ℃/min, owing to S^2- being released from the SNC during the treatment (denoted as MoS₂/SNC-800-6h). The SNC effectively prevents MoS₂ from aggregating into large particles, and we successfully prepared highly dispersed MoS₂ in the SNC matrix. Electrochemical characterizations indicate that MoS₂/SNC-900-12h exhibits a low onset potential of 115 mV and a low overpotential of 237 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm². Furthermore, MoS₂/SNC-900-12h also had an excellent stability with only ~2.6% decay at a current density of 10 mA/cm² after 5000 test cycles.
