This study successfully synthesized porous boron doped Ni2P rod nanoarrays through molten salt treatment and demonstrated their excellent catalytic performance and lower overpotential in alkaline HER. The boron doping optimized the porous geometry, increased the number of active sites, and regulated the electronic coordination to promote water dissociation and hydrogen adsorption and desorption. Moreover, the synthesized M-B-Ni2P electrode exhibited stable operation at a larger current density.
Transition metal-based phosphides (TMPs) show great potential for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The fine regulation of the electronic structure of metal-rich phosphides is an effective and challenging strategy for better activity. Herein, a simple and effective molten salt treatment is designed to synthesize porous boron doped Ni2P rod nanoarrays (M-B-Ni2P) for alkaline HER. The molten salt treatment facilitates the formation of unique porous Ni2P rod nanoarrays with homogeneous boron doping. The synthesized porous M-B-Ni2P exhibit excellent catalytic performance in alkaline media, requiring only an overpotential of 217 mV to drive 100 mA cm-2, which is 79 mV lower than binary nickel phosphide (M-Ni2P). The boron doping not only optimizes the porous geometry to increase the number of active sites, but also regulates the electronic coordination to promote the dissociation of water and the adsorption and desorption of hydrogen atoms. In addition, the self-supported monolithic M-B-Ni2P electrode can operate at a larger current density of 100 mA cm-2 for at least 100 h. This study on realizing boron doping based on molten salt treatment provides a new strategy for constructing transition metal-based phosphides as electrocatalysts. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
