Porous Multishelled Ni2P Hollow Microspheres as an Active Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen and Oxygen Evolution

Abstract

Tailoring the morphology and microstructure of electrocatalysts is important in improving catalytic performance. Herein, porous multishelled Ni 2 P hollow microspheres assembled by nanoparticles were prepared through a simple and economical self-templating approach followed by phosphorization. Compared with nanoparticles and hierarchical solid-interior microspheres, the synthesized multishelled, hollow microstructures of Ni 2 P exhibit significantly higher electrocatalytic activity for the hydrogen evolution reaction in a 1 M KOH electrolyte. Additionally, a NiOOH layer is formed on the surface of Ni 2 P during anodic polarization, as revealed by electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and in situ Raman analysis. The Ni 2 P/NiOOH derivative outperforms the benchmark RuO 2 in catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction. Furthermore, pairing the carbon fiber paper-supported multishelled Ni 2 P as both the anode and cathode results in superior overall alkaline water splitting performance, generating 10 and 20 mA cm –2 current densities at applied cell voltages of only 1.57 and 1.64 V, respectively, together with outstanding durability. These results suggest that further elaboration of the design of multishelled and hollow structured metal phosphides is desirable for application in hydrogen and oxygen evolution electrocatalysis.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
