As efficient cocatalysts in photocatalytic processes, transition metal phosphides are usually synthesized in harsh and tedious conditions. So to achieve their simple and controllable loading on photocatalyst surface is especially valuable.
We comprehensively investigated the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activity of a series of transition metal phosphides MP (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni) using first-principles calculations. The free...
Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have emerged as efficient non-noble electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). However, the effect of their crystal phase on the electrocatalytic activity is rarely reported due...
A volcano relationship exists between hydrogen evolution activities and hydrogen adsorption free energies for transition metal phosphides. We further predict and confirm that Fe0.5Co0.5P exhibits the highest activity.
