title: Noble-Metal-Free Hybrid Membranes for Highly Efficient Hydrogen Evolution.
abstract: Free-standing and flexible WS2/WO2.9/C hybrid membranes are synthesized and used as catalytic electrodes for electrochemical hydrogen evolution, exhibiting a high and stable catalytic activity. By virtue of the synergetic effect, a low onset overpotential of 20 mV and a Tafel slope of 36 mV dec-1are achieved.
