Abstract
Developing efficient and nonprecious electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is crucial for the hydrogen generation via water splitting. Here we report the direct growth of heterostructural Ni2P–Fe2P hybrid electrocatalysts on NiFe foams. The redox engineered NiFe foam (rNF) significantly enhances the OER performance. Among prepared catalysts, Ni2P–Fe2P/rNF performs the highest OER activity, driving the current densities of 10 and 100 mA cm−2 at low overpotentials of 218 and 270 mV in 1 M KOH, respectively. Meanwhile, it can maintain 100 mA cm−2 for 24 h without obvious degradation. The morphology and composition of NFP/rNF after OER test were carefully studied. This work suggests that self-supported bimetal phosphides of NFP/rNF is an efficient and durable electrode material for water oxidation.
