A novel synthesis strategy is demonstrated to prepare Mo P/Mo nanobelts with porous structure for the first time. The growth and formation mechanism of the porous Mo P/Mo nanobelt structure was disclosed by varying the contents of H /PH and the reaction temperature. During the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysis, the optimized porous Mo P/Mo nanobelts exhibited a small overpotential of 78 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm and a low Tafel slope of 43 mV dec , as well as long-term stability in alkaline media, surpassing Pt wire. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that the H O dissociation on the surface of Mo P is favorable during the HER.

Realizing efficient immobilization of lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) as well as reversible catalytic conversion between LiPSs and the insoluble LiS is vital to restrain the shuttle effect, which requires highly reactive catalysts for high-performance Li-S batteries. Here, three-dimensional ordered porous Mo-based metal phosphides (3DOP MoP/Mo) with heterogeneous structures were fabricated and utilized as separator-modified coatings for Li-S batteries to catalyze the conversion of LiPSs. The adsorption, catalytic and electrochemical performance of the corresponding cells were compared among 3DOP MoP/Mo and 3DOP Mo, by kinetic and electrochemical performance measurements.

The development of outstanding noble-metal-free electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) has attracted broad interest. Herein, a novel one-dimensional (1D) HER hybrid catalyst consisted of cobalt phosphide (CoP) and molybdenum carbide (MoC) nanoparticles wrapped by nitrogen-doped graphitic carbon (called CoP/MoC-NC) was successfully fabricated by a facile continuous-flow method and a simple two-step annealing process. During these processes, the successful synthesis of the MoO nanorods coated with cobalt zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (Co-ZIF-67) (Co-ZIF-67@MoO) through the continuous-flow method plays a key role.

Developing highly efficient and inexpensive photocatalysts without noble metals, yet remarkably enhancing hydrogen production and Cr(VI) reduction activity, is highly needed. Here, the effective photocatalytic H evolution under visible light from an Eosin Y (EY)-sensitized (P, Mo)-g-CN system by avoiding any noble metal co-catalyst is reported by the first time. Meanwhile, the optimized sample also displays the excellent performance in photocatalytic hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) reduction.
