Electrocatalytic CO₂ Reduction over Cu₃P Nanoparticles Generated via a Molecular Precursor Route.

ABSTRACT: The design of nanoparticles (NPs) with tailored morphologies and finely tuned electronic and physical properties has become a key strategy for controlling selectivity and improving conversion efficiency in a variety of important electrocatalytic transformations. Transition metal phosphide NPs, in particular, have emerged as a versatile class of catalytic materials due to their multifunctional active sites and composition- and phase-dependent properties. Access to targeted transition metal phosphide NPs with controlled features is necessary to tune the catalytic activity. To this end, we have established a solution-synthesis route utilizing a molecular precursor containing M-P bonds to generate solid metal phosphide NPs with controlled stoichiometry and morphology. We expand here the applic
