Unique hybrid nanostructure, which consists of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) stems and MoS 2 nanosheet (NS) leaves, are prepared by a hydrothermal method. The fabricated material can be potentially used as an electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). To our knowledge, as the re...
