Abstract

Nitrogen-doped few-layered graphene structures are synthesized by plasma-assisted electrochemical exfoliation of graphite and used in the preparation of composites with phosphorene structures obtained by supersonic exfoliation of a porous black-phosphorus electrode covered with preliminarily deposited cobalt. The catalytic activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction is studied for the few-layered graphene and phosphorene structures, as well as their mixtures. The mixed electrocatalysts demonstrate the highest activity in the hydrogen evolution reaction.
