Abstract: Edge-exposed MoS2 nano-assembled structures are designed for high hydrogen evolution reaction activity and long term stability. The number of sulfur edge sites of nano-assembled spheres and sheets is confirmed by Raman spectroscopy and EXAFS analysis. By controlling the MoS2 morphology with the formation of nano-assembled spheres with the assembly of small-size fragments of MoS2, the resulting assembled spheres have high electrocatalytic HER activity and high thermodynamic stability. © 2014 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
