Porous cobalt phosphide/graphitic carbon polyhedral hybrid composites for efficient oxygen evolution reactions†
Abstract
We report a novel hybrid composite constructed from ultrasmall CoP nanoparticles embedded within N-doped graphitic carbon polyhedra (CoP@GC) through simultaneous pyrolysis and phosphidation of a preformed Co-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67). The composite structure could be a promising candidate for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reactions.
