Abstract While the continuous consumption of fossil fuels has alarmed the world with innumerable environmental issues, the demand for clean energy sources in the near future is ever increasing. To realize hydrogen economy, water electrolysis is considered one of the most promising solutions, and development of efficient electrocatalysts is expected to accelerate the commercialization of water electrolysis. The best known electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is platinum, however, due to its scarcity in the earth crust, many researchers are focusing on discovering non-noble metal-based materials. As noble metal alternatives, metal phosphides and sulfides have been investigated with a great fervor. Among them, Ni3S2 phase has shown a great promise as HER catalyst. However, this phase has never been synthesized by solution-based synthetic approach. Herein, we report the first solution-based synthesis of Ni3S2 octahedral nanocage (ONC), which is an efficient electrocatalyst for HER.
