Abstract:Hydrogen (H 2 ) stands as a clean energy alternative to fossil fuels, especially within the domain of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), offering prospective solutions to mitigate both environmental and energy-related challenges. In this work, we successfully synthesized a sea-urchinlike catalyst, specifically a nickel−cobalt phosphide nanoneedle array on N-doped carbon nanospheres (Ni 0.5 Co 1.5 P@NCSs), for efficient HER by a sequential hydrothermal and lowtemperature phosphating process. The catalyst ex… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
