Novel transition-metal phosphides@N, P-codoped carbon electrocatalysts synthesized via a universal strategy for overall water splitting

Xueping Sun et al.

Summary: Developing highly efficient and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts is crucial for water splitting reaction. In this study, a universal and scalable synthetic strategy was proposed to prepare nanosized transition metal phosphide encapsulated in nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon (TMP@NPC) catalysts using green and inexpensive adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a new phosphorus source. The as-prepared TMP@NPC catalysts exhibited excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activities with small overpotentials and robust capabilities. The CoP@NPC catalyst showed the lowest overpotentials and outstanding stability, and demonstrated excellent performance in overall water splitting as both cathode and anode. This work highlights the importance of green and general synthesis strategy in designing and constructing TMPs and reinforces the understanding of intimate interaction in coupled hybrid electrocatalysts.
