PMo12 induced MoP as hydrogen evolution electrocatalysts

In recent years, electrolytic water has become the mainstream method of producing hydrogen energy, in which the development of efficient electrocatalysts is particularly important. Herein, MoP@C was synthesized by simple hydrothermal following one-step calcination process. MoP@C shows excellent catalytic activity in acidic environment, requiring only a small overpotential (196 mV) at the current density of 10 mA cm-2 and exhibiting a small Tafel slope (91 mV dec-1). Meanwhile, MoP@C displays good stability within 24 hours. This work has a positive effect for the subsequent large-scale preparation of phosphides electrocatalysts.
