AB  - In this paper, we report a facile method for the synthesis of MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheet/ MoS<sub>2</sub> 
nanowire homostructures by growing MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheets on the surface of MoS<sub>2</sub> nanowires. 
Benefiting from the uniform coating of MoS2 nanosheets on the surface of MoS2 
nanowires, the MoS<sub>2</sub> nanosheet/ MoS<sub>2</sub> nanowire homostructures highly expose their 
electrocatalytic active edge sites and exhibit an enhanced electrocatalytic performance. It 
demonstrates a low overpotential of 107 mV at 10 mA/cm<sup>2</sup>
 and a small Tafel slope of 64 
mV/dec in 0.5 M H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>. This work provides an inspiration for the design of efficient 
electrocatalysts with no stacking and aggregation structure.
