Vertically aligned two-dimensional ReSe 2 are directly grown on conductive substrates by a chemical vapor deposition method for enhanced electrocatalytic hydrogen production. Two-dimensional electrocatalysts with high-density active sites together with a good charge transfer to the conductive substrates can improve their hydrogen evolution reaction performances. Typically, a good contact between catalyst and electrode to enhance charge transfer can be achieved by way of direct growth. However, a controllable growth of vertically aligned two-dimensional ReSe 2 directly on conductive substrates as working electrodes is not reported. In this work, for the first time, vertically aligned ReSe 2 nanosheets directly on conductive substrates (carbon cloth and glass carbon) are realized though a controllable chemical vapor deposition method. Compare to the way of transferring two-dimension ReSe 2 , the electrode with optimized growth of two-dimensional ReSe 2 exhibits superior hydrogen evolution reaction performances.
