Exploring novel catalysis by less common, metal-non-metal nanoalloys is of great interest in organic synthesis. We herein report a titanium-dioxide-supported nickel phosphide nanoalloy (nano-Ni2P/TiO2) that exhibits high catalytic activity for the deoxygenation of sulfoxides. nano-Ni2P/TiO2 deoxygenated various sulfoxides to sulfides under 1 bar of H2, representing the first non-noble metal catalyst for sulfoxide deoxygenation under ambient H2 pressure. Spectroscopic analyses revealed that this high activity is due to cooperative catalysis by nano-Ni2P and TiO2.

Enhancing the rate of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) by doping Ni-based electrocatalysts with guest metals other than Fe (V in this work) and the stability of the metal site should be assessed independent of Fe traces and in relation to the guest metal activity in solution. We examined OER catalysis and its sustainability at vanadium-doped nickel phosphide (NiP-V) independent of the role of Fe traces in alkaline. V was included in NiP by codeposition at cathodic bias (termed V) or postdeposition during the phosphide-to-hydroxide surface transformation at anodic bias in alkaline spiked with VCl (termed V).

The rational design of highly efficient and cost-effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is crucial for hydrogen production through electrocatalytic water splitting. Although the crystalline/amorphous heterostructure shows great potential in enhancing OER activity, its fabrication presents significantly greater challenges compared to that of crystalline/crystalline heterostructures. Herein, a microwave irradiation strategy is developed to construct reduced graphene oxide supported crystalline NiP/amorphous FePO heterostructure (NiP/FePO/RGO) as an efficient OER electrocatalyst.
