Molybdenum phosphide: a new highly efficient catalyst for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction†
Abstract
Molybdenum phosphide was adopted as a new electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction for the first time, exhibiting an excellent electrocatalytic activity with a small Tafel slope of 60 mV dec−1, which is amongst the most active, acid-stable, earth abundant HER electrocatalysts reported to date.
