Two–dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides such as MoS₂ and WS₂ nanosheets, nanoflowers, and nanoparticles have been investigated as potential materials for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Besides 2D–TMDs, MXene materials, which are transition metal carbides/nitrides, are promising candidates for energy storage and conversion applications. In this work, alloys of tungsten carbides and tungsten disulfides have been fabricated through a facile hydrothermal method without using any complex structure of carbon or polymer source for carbonization. The fabricated alloys were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, field emission scanning microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Raman spectra, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results indicated both W₂C and WS₂ have hexagonal structure in the alloy compound. W₂C@WS₂ nanomaterials exhibit abundant flower-shaped active …
