Conversion of Ni(12)P(5) nanoparticles to Ni(2)P is demonstrated to occur via a solid-state, rather than a solution dissolution, process. The templated transformation is employed to make monodisperse hollow or solid particles of the catalytically active phase Ni(2)P with surface areas of ~17 m(2) g(-1).

It is a great challenge to develop highly active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts with superior durability. In this study, NiFe layered double hydroxide-decorated phosphide (NiFe LDH@CoP/NiP3) was constructed display satisfactory OER activity and good stability for water splitting in alkaline media. At an overpotential of 300 mV, LDH@CoP/NiP3 achieved current density 82 mA cm−2 ...

In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of nickel foam, which is activated by cobalt, molybdenum, and phosphide nanostructures, prepared plasma hydrothermal method for use in release hydrogen oxygen. The morphology crystallographic structure synthesized specimens were examined means scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction. Moreover, electrol...
