The Ni2P nanowires were synthesized using a one-step hydrothermal approach, with uniform nanowires exhibiting enhanced electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions. This work provides guidance for designing nickel phosphides with unique nanostructures for efficient water splitting.
The Ni2P nanowires were simply synthesized via a rapid one-step hydrothermal approach, in which deionized water, red phosphorus, nickel acetate, and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide were used as the solvent, phosphor and nickel sources, and active agent, respectively. The as-synthesized Ni2P nanowire clusters were composed of uniform nanowires with length of about 10 mu m and diameter of about 40 nm. The Ni2P nanowires exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity for both hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction This work provides good guidance for the rational design of nickel phosphides with unique nanostructures for highly efficient overall water splitting.
