Abstract

Carbon-supported M x P y (M = Ni, Co, W, Cr, and Mo) were prepared via pyrolysis using a very simple and scalable method utilizing nontoxic metal and phosphorus precursors. The electrochemical hydrogen evolution (HER), oxygen reduction (ORR), and oxygen evolution (OER) reactions and corrosion resistance under both acidic and alkaline conditions were examined for all these catalysts and compared to those for the benchmark catalysts Pt/C (HER/ORR) and IrO 2 (OER). The highest activities were found in alkaline solutions for Co 2 P for HER and ORR and Ni 2 P for OER. Good activity was also found in acid for some of these reactions, although the catalysts suffered from susceptibility to corrosion. Co 2 P was further studied in an alkaline environment, as it shows high catalytic activity toward the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) without significant hysteresis. The onset potential (at 0.5 mA cm –2 ) obtained was 0.8 V vs RHE, and a Tafel slope value of 38 mV dec –1 was found with a maximum kinetic mass activity of 2870 A g Co –1 at 0.7 V vs RHE. Utilizing high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, it is possible to observe high-surface-area needle-like single-crystal cobalt oxide structures on the surface of the Co 2 P particles at the beginning of the ORR. Hence the high rates of initial corrosion of the Co 2 P appear to be associated with the dissolution and precipitation of cobalt oxide on the particle surface. The as-synthesized Co 2 P/C also shows good performance in an 8-h stability test for the OER, carried out at 1.6 V vs RHE in alkaline conditions, with negligible drop in current density over time. Interestingly, in an acidic environment the catalyst is very active toward two-electron oxygen reduction, leading to H 2 O 2 with high selectivity (85%). It is intriguing that the pH dependence of this catalyst toward the ORR is similar to that seen for gold.

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.
