A 3D hierarchical Bi-doped CoP nanoflowers electrocatalyst is developed based on a MOF self-sacrifice strategy. The 3% Bi/CoP catalyst delivers a current density of 10 mA cm−2 at low overpotentials of 122 mV in alkaline electrolyte and 150 mV in acidic electrolyte.

A convenient method was used for synthesizing Pt-nanoparticle/MoSx/silicon nanowires nanocomposites. Obtained Pt-MoSx/silicon nanowires electrocatalysts were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The hydrogen evolution reaction efficiency of the Pt-MoSx/silicon nanowire nanocomposite catalysts was assessed by examining polarization and electrolysis measurements under solar light irradiations. The electrochemical characterizations demonstrate that Pt-MoSx/silicon nanowire electrodes exhibited an excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction in an acidic electrolyte. The hydrogen production capability of Pt-MoSx/silicon nanowires is also comparable toMoSx/silicon nanowires and Pt/silicon nanowires. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy experiments suggest that the enhanced performance of Pt-MoSx/silicon nanowires can be attributed to the fast electron transfer between Pt-MoSx/silicon nanowire electrodes and electrolyte interfaces.

Efficient electrocatalyst plays a significant role on the development of hydrogen energy. In this work, an N,P-codoped carbon layer coupled with MoP nanoparticles (MoP/NPCs) was prepared through a facile high-temperature pyrolysis treatment. The obtained MoP/NPCs presented efficient activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), with low onset potential of 90 mV, and a small Tafel slope (71 mV dec−1), as well as extraordinary stability in acidic electrolyte. This work provides a new facile strategy for the design and synthesis of sustainable and effective molybdenum-based electrocatalysts as alternatives to non-Pt catalysts for HER.

The versatile cobalt-phosphorus (Co-P) precursor was synthesized on Ni foam (NF) with an electrodeposition method. Simple room-temperature treatment of the precursor with 1 M NaOH and 0.5 M H2SO4 allows for the production of cobalt oxide nanorods (CoxOy/NF) and cobalt phosphate/phosphide (Co-Pi/CoP/NF), respectively. The resulting CoxOy/NF shows a low overpotential (η10) of 80 mV at −10 mA/cm2 in an alkaline electrolyte (pH = 14) for a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) toward electrocatalytic water splitting. The Co-Pi/CoP/NF exhibits a low η10 of 112 mV in an acidic electrolyte (pH = 0), in which the synergy between Co (+2) and Co (+3) may play an important role in the reaction.
