Abstract
The growing demand for energy, as well as the impact on the environment as a result of human activity, has prompted a renewed focus on the development of cleaner alternative fuels. Because of its pure combustion products, hydrogen gas is being used as an alternative in the development of sustainable energy sources. A simple hydrothermal technique was used to prepare copper nickel tin sulphide (CNTS) decorated graphitic carbon nitride (gCN). CNTS-gCN samples were further prepared on different concentrations of gCN that varies from CNTS-gCN(10 mg–50mg) and analyzed under various characterization for its structural, morphological, and electrochemical properties. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Raman and HR-TEM (High Resolution- Transmitting Electron Microscopy) techniques were used to examine the morphology and surface structure of CNTS-gCN. Owing to its exclusive electrocatalytic property as low charge transfer resistance and high electrochemically active surface area, the composite material reveals a superior catalytic stability for the production of hydrogen energy. The hierarchical flower like structures were still maintained even after the addition of g-CN at different loading concentrations (10–50) respectively. The objective of this research is to prepare a new electrocatalyst based on CNTS with an increased HER activity.
