NiCoP constructed on a conductive substrate exhibits efficient catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, the in-situ growth of NiCoP on MXene nanosheets (MXene@NiCoP) is reported. The presence of MXene nanosheets accelerates electron transfer and enhances the surface activity of NiCoP. Density functional theory calculations show that MXene@NiCoP possesses the advantages of a low overpotential and high OH* adsorption energy during the ORR process. MXene@NiCoP is demonstrated to be a highly active catalyst for ORR with a half-wave potential of 0.71 V vs. RHE. The assembled single-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cell achieves high electricity generation performance.
NiCoP constructed on a conductive substrate can achieve efficient oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalytic activity.

Density functional theory calculations indicated that MXene@NiCoP possessed the advantages of a low overpotential and high OH* adsorption energy in the ORR process. MXene@NiCoP proved to be a highly active catalyst for the ORR with a half-wave potential of 0.71 V vs. RHE. The assembled single-chamber air-cathode microbial fuel cell obtained high electricity generation performance.
