摘要

Modifying the intrinsic activity and conductivity of electrocatalysts represents a pivotal approach for achieving outstanding performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, we focused on the rational fabrication of vanadium (V)-doped nickel cobalt phosphide on Ni foam (VNiCoP/NF) employing a wet chemical synthesis followed by a controlled NaH2PO2-assisted solid-gas phosphidation process. Electrochemical measurements conducted in an alkaline electrolyte demonstrated the significantly enhanced electrocatalytic activity of the synthesized VNiCoP/NF nanoparticles for HER, achieving overpotentials of 141, 137, and 79 mV at current densities of 200, 100, and 10 mA cm− 2, respectively. The exceptional electrocatalytic performance of the VNiCoP/NF catalyst can be ascribed to the enhanced intrinsic activity and conductivity resulting from the phosphating process and the incorporation of vanadium, as well as the synergism between the V and NiCoP active sites. Prominently, the VNiCoP/NF catalyst demonstrated remarkable long-term stability for 50 h at 100 mA cm− 2. Consequently, the introduction of metal doping into phosphides based on transition metals represents a highly promising strategy for developing exceptionally efficient HER electrocatalysts for green hydrogen production.
