Description
Cu2CoSnS4 (CCTS) nanofibers have been fabricated by electrospinning and exhibit an excellent morphology with an average nanofiber diameter of 150 nm. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) was used as templating polymer that leads to a decrease in imperfections in the crystalline nanofibers. CCTS and Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanofibers, based on abundant and environmental friendly elements, efficiently enhanced the rates of biphasic proton reduction in the presence of an organic solubilized electron donor, decamethylferrocene (DMFc). This work paves the way for the exploration of copper-based chalcogenides as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction to replace noble metal Pt.
