Construction of a molybdenum and copper co-doped nickel phosphide with lattice distortion for highly efficient electrochemical water splitting.

A self-supported dual-cation (Mo,Cu) co-doped Ni2P@ nickel foam catalyst (Mo,Cu-Ni2P@NF) has been prepared, and the co-doped samples can distort the lattice and expose a larger specific surface area, which provides more reaction locations, and exhibit an efficient water splitting performance.
