Abstract

In this work, phosphonic acid-functionalized carbon nanotubes/bismuth sulfide composite (PAFCN/BS) has been produced successfully by a facile solution reaction method, and it has been characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Because of the efficient synergistic effect of phosphonic acid functionalized-carbon nanotubes and bismuth sulfide, the composite displays excellent electrochemical hydrogen storage and stability performances. Furthermore, the as-synthesized composite exhibits very low charge transfer resistance which signifies fast electron transfer. Based on the facile synthesis of the composite and its excellent performance of electrochemical hydrogen storage, PAFCN/BS can stand out as a promising efficient electrode material in the field of electrochemical hydrogen storage.
