Improvement of the electrocatalytic performance of FeP in neutral electrolytes with Fe nanoparticles

Changlong Xiao et al.

Summary: Metal phosphides have shown promise as electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), but their applications are limited by low electronic conductivity in neutral electrolytes. This study demonstrates a novel approach to significantly enhancing HER performance by modifying hierarchical iron phosphide with metallic iron. The presence of iron in the catalyst accelerates charge transport kinetics and improves proton adsorption during water electrolysis, leading to high catalytic rates and long-term stability in neutral electrolytes.
