Sulfur‐Doped rGO Aerogel Enables the Anchoring of 1T/2H MoS2 for Durable Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyst Support

Abstract Durability is crucial for the long‐term application of cathode oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalysts in fuel cells. In this work, sulfur was successfully doped into reduced graphene oxide (rGO) aerogels to achieve the formation of 1T/2H hybrid phase MoS 2 , obtaining MoS 2 @S‐rGO‐300 composite ORR catalyst support. After loading ultrafine Pt nanoparticles, Pt/MoS 2 @S‐rGO‐300 showed not only an enhanced ORR activity, but also a significantly improved stability after 10000 cycles. The mass activity retention for Pt/MoS 2 @S‐rGO‐300 after cycles reached 89.94 %, while that of Pt/rGO was only 37.44 %. Density functional theory calculations revealed that the enlarged binding energy between Pt atoms and MoS 2 @S‐rGO‐300 led to the prevention of Pt agglomeration as well as Ostwald ripening.
