Claim 0:
1. A composite electrocatalytic material for catalyzing water splitting, the material comprising:
a porous, conductive support composed of a transition metal foam, the support having a surface, and
a coating on the surface of the support, the coating comprising
nanorods of a first transition metal chalcogenide, each nanorod anchored on one end to the surface of the support and extending perpendicularly away from the surface of the support to a free opposing end,
nanosheets of a second transition metal chalcogenide, the nanosheets coating a surface of the nanorods of the first transition metal chalcogenide, and
nanosheets of a third transition metal chalcogenide, the nanosheets also coating the surface of the nanorods of the first transition metal chalcogenide.
