对化石能源的依赖所造成的环境污染和能源危机在全球引起了广泛的关注.氢能由于其高能量密度、低分子质量以及清洁无污染的优点,被认为是人类根本性解决能源与环境等全球性问题的理想替代能源.电解水是生产高纯度氢的重要方法,是现代清洁能源技术的重要组成部分.水电解由阴极析氢(HER)和阳极析氧(OER)两个半反应构成.对于HER反应,其反应是基于二电子转移过程,反应过程相对容易进行.相比于HER反应,OER反应涉及四电子转移及氧-氧键形成,其反应动力学缓慢,是影响水电解效率的主要原因.因此,为了提高电解水制氢的能量转化效率,发展OER电催化剂成为水电解制氢技术的关键.在过去的十余年间,硫化物、硒化物、磷化物、硼化物等非贵金属基OER电催化剂被大量地研究及报道并取得了长足发展.在这些催化剂中,金属磷化物和硫化物不仅具有成本优势,而且在析氧过电位、耐久性方面正趋接近甚至超越RuO_2和IrO_2等贵金属催化剂,颇具应用潜力.本文总结磷化物和硫化物作为OER电催化剂的研究进展,重点介绍了磷化物和硫化物性能提升策略及其在OER过程中催化反应活性位的变化.本文首先介绍了电解水析氧反应在不同电解质中的反应机理,讨论了析氧反应在动力学和热力学过程的主要障碍.通过对大量文献的归纳,本文分别综述了磷化物和硫化物的化学性质、合成方法和催化性能,介绍了近年来磷化物和硫化物的重要研究进展.通过分析催化剂导电性、质子传输、活性面积、界面化学等因素对催化析氧反应的影响,总结了磷化物和硫化物电催化OER性能提升的策略.由于磷化物和硫化物在OER强氧化条件下,电催化剂表面的成分、物相及结构均会发生显著变化,进而催化反应活性位也会发生相应改变.本文综述了磷化物和硫化物在OER反应过程前后表面组分的变化,探讨了磷化物和硫化物作为OER电催化剂的活性组分,为进一步提高磷化物和硫化物的电催化析氧反应性能提供了崭新的思路.

For electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), encapsulating transition metal phosphides (TMPs) into nitrogen-doped carbon materials has been known as an effective strategy to elevate the activity and stability.

Here we present a HER electrocatalyst (denoted as MoP@NCHSs) comprising MoP nanoparticles encapsulated in N-doped carbon hollow spheres, which displays excellent activity and stability for HER in alkaline media. Results of experimental investigations and theoretical calculations indicate that the synergy between MoP and the pyridinic N can most effectively promote the HER in alkaline media.

Boron-Induced Electronic-Structure Reformation of CoP Nanoparticles Drives Enhanced pH-Universal Hydrogen Evolution

Even though transition-metal phosphides (TMPs) have been developed as promising alternatives to Pt catalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), further improvement of their performance requires fine regulation of the TMP sites related to their specific electronic structure. Herein, for the first time, boron (B)-modulated electrocatalytic characteristics in CoP anchored on the carbon nanotubes (B-CoP/CNT) with impressive HER activities over a wide pH range are reported. The HER performance surpasses commercial Pt/C in both neutral and alkaline media at large current density (>100 mA cm⁻²). A combined experimental and theoretical study identified that the B dopant could reform the local electronic configuration and atomic arrangement of bonded Co and adjacent P atoms, enhance the electrons’ delocalization capacity of Co atoms for high electrical conductivity, and optimize the free energy of H adsorption and H₂ desorption on the active sites for better HER kinetics.

Two-dimensional Pt2P3 monolayer: A promising bifunctional electrocatalyst with different active sites for hydrogen evolution and CO2 reduction

Green hydrogen production and CO₂ fixation have been identified as the fundamental techniques for sustainable economy.

Under such context, this work reported computational efforts to design promising electrocatalyst for HER and CO₂ER based on the swarm-intelligence algorithm.

Different from typical d-block catalysts, p-band center presented by P atoms within Pt₂P₃ monolayer plays the essential role for its reactivity towards HER and CO₂ER, underlining the key value of p-electrons in advanced catalyst design and thus providing a promising strategy to further develop novel catalysts made of p-block elements for various energy applications.     

Nanosized Metal Phosphides Embedded in Nitrogen‐Doped Porous Carbon Nanofibers for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution at All pH Values

Transition‐metal phosphides (TMPs) have emerged as promising catalyst candidates for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Although numerous methods have been investigated to obtain TMPs, most rely on traditional synthetic methods that produce materials that are inherently deficient with respect to electrical conductivity. An electrospinning‐based reduction approach is presented, which generates nickel phosphide nanoparticles in N‐doped porous carbon nanofibers (Ni₂P@NPCNFs) in situ. Ni₂P nanoparticles are protected from irreversible fusion and aggregation in subsequent high‐temperature pyrolysis. The resistivity of Ni₂P@NPCNFs (5.34 Ω cm) is greatly decreased by 10⁴ times compared to Ni₂P (>10⁴ Ω cm) because N‐doped carbon NFs are incorporated. As an electrocatalyst for HER, Ni₂P@NPCNFs reveal remarkable performance compared to other previously reported catalysts in acidic media. Additionally, it offers excellent catalytic ability and durability in both neutral and basic media. Encouraged by the excellent electrocatalytic performance of Ni₂P@NPCNFs, a series of pea‐like M_xP@NPCNFs, including Fe₂P@NPCNFs, Co₂P@NPCNFs, and Cu₃P@NPCNFs, were synthesized by the same method. Detailed characterization suggests that the newly developed method could render combinations of ultrafine metal phosphides with porous carbon accessible; thereby, extending opportunities in electrocatalytic applications.

Nanobundles of Iron Phosphide Fabricated by Direct Phosphorization of Metal–Organic Frameworks as an Efficient Hydrogen-Evolving Electrocatalyst

Transition-metal-based phosphides (TMPs) have been considered as attractive electrocatalysts for water splitting due to their earth-abundance and remarkable catalytic activity. As a representative type of precursors, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide ideal plateaus for the design of nanostructured TMPs. In this work, the hierarchically structured iron phosphide nanobundles (FeP-500) were fabricated by one-step phosphorization of an iron-based MOF (MET(Fe)) precursor. The derived FeP-500 nanobundles were constructed by quasi-paralleled one-dimensional nanorods with uneven surface, which provided channels for electrolyte penetration, mass transport, and effective exposure of active sites during the water-splitting process. With the addition of conductive Super P, the obtained FeP-500-S exhibited a good electrocatalytic performance towards the hydrogen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyte (1 mol L⁻¹ KOH). Furthermore, to investigate the influence of secondary metal doping, a series of isoreticular MOF precursors and bimetallic TMPs were fabricated. The results indicated that the catalytic performance is structure dominated.
