Abstract

The rational design and synthesis of nonprecious, efficient, and stable electrocatalysts to replace precious noble metals are crucial to the future of hydrogen economy. Herein, a partial sulfurization/phosphorization strategy is proposed to synthesize a nonstoichiometric pyrrhotite-type cobalt monophosphosulfide material (Co 0.9 S 0.58 P 0.42 ) with a hexagonal close-packed phase for electrocatalytic water splitting. By regulating the degree of sulfurization, the P/S atomic ratio in the cobalt monophosphosulfide can be tuned to activate the Co 3+ /Co 2+ couples. The synergy between the nonstoichiometric nature and the tunable P/S ratio results in the strengthened Co 3+ /Co 2+ couples and tunable electronic structure and thus efficiently promotes the oxygen/hydrogen evolution reaction (OER/HER) processes toward overall water splitting. Especially for OER, the Co 0.9 S 0.58 P 0.42 material, featured with a uniform yolk–shell spherical morphology, shows a low overpotential of 266 mV at 10 mA cm –2 (η 10 ) with a low Tafel slope of 48 mV dec –1 as well as high stability, which is comparable to that of the reported promising OER electrocatalysts. Coupled with the high HER activity of Co 0.9 S 0.58 P 0.42, the overall water splitting is demonstrated with a low η 10 at 1.59 V and good stability. This study shows that phase engineering and composition control can be the elegant strategy to realize the Co 3+ /Co 2+ couple activation and electronic structure tuning to promote the electrocatalytic process. The proposed strategy and approaches allow the rational design and synthesis of transition metal monophosphosulfides toward advanced electrochemical applications.

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.
