NiCoP with Dandelion-like Arrays Anchored on Nanowires for Electrocatalytic Overall Water Splitting.

Although transition-metal-based phosphides as cost-effective catalysts have great potential for transforming water to hydrogen, their electrocatalytic property for industrial application is still limited. Herein, we focus on developing amorphous NiCoP with dandelion-like arrays anchored on nanowires through a universal strategy of hydrothermal and phosphorization. The hierarchical structure features in larger catalytic surface areas expedited reaction kinetics and improved structural stability.
