Abstract
Constructing heterointerfaces in heterostructures could effectively enlarge the electroactive sites and enhance the interfacial charge transfer, and thus improve the electrocatalytic performances. Herein, free-standing porous Ni2P-Ni5P4 heterostructured arrays are successfully prepared through in situ phosphating Ni(OH)2 arrays by simply tuning the reaction temperatures. Contributing from the interfacial coupling effects of two phases, large surface areas, highly conductive support of carbon cloth substrates and unique free-standing arrays, Ni2P-Ni5P4 heterostructured arrays show the enhanced kinetics and electrocatalytic performances for the hydrogen evolution reaction, oxygen evolution reaction and overall water splitting. Our research might offer insight into constructing heterophase junctions for efficient overall water splitting.
