Abstract
Composite electrocatalytic materials for catalyzing water splitting are provided. Such materials may comprise a porous, conductive support composed of a transition metal foam, the support having a surface, and a coating on the surface of the support. The coating may comprise nanorods of a first transition metal chalcogenide, each nanorod anchored on one end to the surface of the support and extending perpendicularly away from the surface of the support to a free opposing end, nanosheets of a second transition metal chalcogenide, the nanosheets coating a surface of the nanorods of the first transition metal chalcogenide, and nanosheets of a third transition metal chalcogenide, the nanosheets also coating the surface of the nanorods of the first transition metal chalcogenide.
