The LDH-heterostructures were synthesized under relatively mild conditions using a hydrothermal approach depicted in Figure . In the first step, an LDH matrix with varying ratios of Ni, Fe, and Co (NiFeCo-LDH), and possibly Mo dopants (NiFeCo-Mo(doped)-LDH), was synthesized on a nickel foam (NF) substrate using a one-pot hydrothermal method. In the next step, MoS 2 QDs were immobilized on the LDH using a facile and rapid electrodeposition approach. The synthesis produces the self-supporting electrode materials of interest, MoS 2 @NiFeCo-LDH and MoS 2 @NiFeCo-Mo(doped)-LDH.
