Cluster-like molybdenum phosphide anchored on reduced graphene oxide for efficient hydrogen evolution over a broad pH range.

Abstract

Cluster-like molybdenum phosphide particles were anchored on reduced graphene oxide (MoP/rGO) with high uniformity by using phosphomolybdic acid as a molybdenum precursor based on a robust assembly-immobilization method. Benefiting from the small size, and even distribution of the MoP particles, the MoP/rGO hybrid exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity towards the hydrogen evolution reaction both in acidic and alkaline media.
