Abstract

The investigation of high-efficiency nonprecious electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significance for renewable energy technologies. Here, we provide a successive hydrothermal, oxidation, and phosphidation method to fabricate a 3D nest-like ternary NiCoP/carbon cloth (CC) electrocatalyst with superior catalytic activity and stability toward HER/OER. Nest-like NiCoP/CC requires overpotentials of 44 and 62 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm–2 in acidic and alkaline media, respectively, toward HER. For OER, the NiCoP/CC exhibits high active and durable performance with an overpotential of 242 mV at current density of 10 mA cm–2 in…
