Molybdenum carbide supported metal-organic framework-derived Ni, Co phosphosulphide heterostructures as efficient OER and HER catalysts.

ABSTRACT: Molybdenum carbide (Mo _x C) has gained attention for water splitting due to its electronic structure resembling to Pt and have high electrochemical performance. We designed porous nanostructured phosphorus/sulfur co-doped Ni, Co phosphosulphide and molybdenum carbide heterostructures Mo _x C(Mo₂C-MoC) through confined carburization within a metal-organic framework (MOF) matrix combined with a phosphosulfurization strategy. Starting from a carbon source consisting of NiCo-MOF incorporating molybdenum trioxide, we prepared MOF-derived NiCo-Mo _x C nanorods via carbonization, which exhibited decent electrocatalytic performance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by electrochemical water splitting. The NiCo-Mo
