Abstract

The development of precious-metal-free electrocatalysts with high-efficiency for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at all pHs is of great interest for the development of electrochemical overall splitting technologies. Despite that intense efforts have been made to developing cost-effective electrocatalysts toward HER under both acidic and alkaline electrolytes with high efficiency, electrocatalysts with remarkable performance in neutral media are rare. Herein, N atoms doped Co2P nanorod arrays grown on carbon cloth (N–Co2P/CC) have been successfully synthesized and further used as efficient electrocatalysts for HER at all pH values. Specially, the N–Co2P/CC exhibits an overpotential of 42 mV at the current…
