Laifei Xiong et al.

Summary: Investigating the correlation between changes in electronic structure and catalytic activity in electrocatalysts is crucial for design and synthesis. Using Ni2P as a model catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction, the study systematically investigates the impact of doping heteroatoms on electrochemical performance. Results show that Badar charge increment and d-band center on the surface of doped Ni2P catalyst have a significant linear correlation with hydrogen adsorption energy. Additionally, experimental validation confirms that Fe and Co-doped Ni2P exhibits the best catalytic activity, with XPS and electrochemical tests supporting the theoretical analysis.
