Abstract Two-dimensional layered MoS2 has recently been considered as an excellent catalyst for water-splitting hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Herein, we report that two dimensional MoS2 and Fe-phthalocyanine hybrid nanostructures exhibit excellent bifunctional catalytic activity toward the HER and oxygen reduction reactions (ORR). The catalytic HER is characterized by a Tafel slope of 32 mV dec-1 and 10 mA cm-2 at an overpotential of 0.12 V. The number of electrons involved in the ORR was 4. The remarkable bifunctional performance would be ascribed to a synergic effect of electron-rich metallic 1T’ phase MoS2 and the active Fe-N4 sites toward ORR. Spin-polarized density functional theory calculations on reaction pathway of HER suggests that the basal S atoms just above the Fe are active sites and the catalytic activity is determined by the activation barrier of Heyrovsky step.
