Abstract
The search for an inexpensive bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting has attracted considerable research interest during the past years. Herein, self-supported hierarchical electrodes comprising nickel foam (NF) and porous molybdenum phosphide (MoP) nanoflakes are fabricated by first growing MoO<sub>2</sub> nanoflakes on Ni foam and then further phosphorization treatment. Remarkably, serving as both anode and cathode catalysts in a two-electrode alkaline water-electrolysis system, the designed electrodes only require a potential of 1.62 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>. This performance is close to that of the noble-metal-based electrodes, that is, integrated RuO<sub>2</sub>/Ni foam and Ni foam supported Pt/C electrodes. The low cost, facile preparation method, and desirable performance make this MoP/NF electrode a potential electrocatalyst for overall water splitting. © 2018 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
