本團(tuán)隊(duì)首次通過一步水熱法在Ti3C2 MXene表面負(fù)載半金屬1T'相MoS2 (1T'-MoS2/Ti3C2復(fù)合材料)作為一種高效的非貴金屬固氮電催化劑。在0.1 M Na2SO4溶液中，1T'-MoS2/Ti3C2復(fù)合材料在-0.95 V vs. RHE時(shí)實(shí)現(xiàn)了31.96 μg h-1 mg-1cat.的高氨產(chǎn)率，在-0.70 V vs. RHE時(shí)達(dá)到了30.75%的法拉第效率(FE)，這比單獨(dú)的純1T'-MoS2和純Ti3C2 MXene顯著出色，也好于2H-MoS2/Ti3C2復(fù)合材料和1T-MoS2/Ti3C2復(fù)合材料。

圖1為樣品合成示意圖。Ti3AlC2 MAX首先用HF蝕刻以去除Al層以獲得Ti3C2 MXene。然后通過水熱法引入1T'-MoS2納米片，該納米片錨定在Ti3C2 MXene上形成1T'-MoS2/Ti3C2復(fù)合材料。
