Impacts of boron doping on the atomic structure, stability, and photocatalytic activity of Cu3P nanocrystals

Xiandi Zhang et al.

Summary: This study presents the preparation of B-doped Cu3P nanocrystals and their enhanced photocatalytic hydrogen production performance, attributed to the replacement of P with B atoms. Computational calculations indicate that the boron-associated reconfiguration of electronic structure improves the conductivity of B-Cu3P, leading to optimized Gibbs free energy of H adsorption. This work demonstrates the role of B-doping in improving the kinetics and thermodynamics of transition metal phosphides for photocatalytic reactions.
