Constructing Molybdenum Phosphide@Cobalt Phosphide Heterostructure Nanoarrays on Nickel Foam as a Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Enhanced Overall Water Splitting.

ABSTRACT: The construction of multi-level heterostructure materials is an effective way to further the catalytic activity of catalysts. Here, we assembled self-supporting MoS₂@Co precursor nanoarrays on the support of nickel foam by coupling the hydrothermal method and electrostatic adsorption method, followed by a low-temperature phosphating strategy to obtain Mo₄P₃@CoP/NF electrode materials. The construction of the Mo₄P₃@CoP heterojunction can lead to electron transfer from the Mo₄P₃ phase to the CoP phase at the phase interface region, thereby optimizing the charge structure of the active sites. Not only that, the introduction of Mo₄P₃ will make water molecules preferentially adsorb on its surface,
