Published: October 2024

Metal phosphide anode materials encounter poor reversibility of the discharge product (metal and NaP) and large volume variation, resulting in low initial Coulombic efficiency (ICE) and severe capacity degradation. Herein, a bimetallic phosphide (CoMoP) with three-dimensional ordered porous (3DOP) nanoconstruction was fabricated, which presents a reduced Gibbs free energy change (Δ) of redox reaction between Co-Mo/NaP and CoMoP and improved conductivity compared to CoP and MoP. Additionally, the 3DOP architecture could disperse stress and reduce strain during cycling, thus improving structural stability of CoMoP. In situ and ex situ characterizations and electrochemical measurements suggest that 3DOP CoMoP exhibits highly reversible sodium storage with an ICE of 58% at 0.1 A g, enhanced reaction dynamics, and good cycling stability with around 0.04% capacity decay per cycle at 1 A g after 1000 cycles. Consequently, this work offers a new perspective to solve issues of reversibility of redox chemistry and volume expansion for secondary batteries.

To improve water splitting efficiency and enhance energy utilization, it is crucial to develop catalysts with excellent activity, long-term stability, and low cost. In this study, we synthesized a three-dimensional nanostructured amorphous CoMoP/NF bifunctional catalyst for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the 5-hydroxymethylfurfural oxidation reaction (HMFOR), using a sacrificial template method. Benefiting from element doping regulation and morphology control, CoMoP/NF exhibited outstanding catalytic activity.

The bifunctional electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER) are crucial pivot in water electrolysis territory. In this study, vertically Fe incorporated CoMoP (Fe-CoMoP) nanosheet honeycomb product with super-hydrophilic and aerophobic features was projected and generated through the straightforward hydrothermal technique and phosphatized process. The Fe-CoMoP catalyst exhibits more distinguished intrinsic activity, accessible active sites, effective charge transfer and weak adhesion of gas bubbles.

Designing a cheap, competent, and durable catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is exceedingly necessary for generating oxygen through a water-splitting reaction. In this project, we have designed a ZIF-67-originated molybdenum-doped cobalt phosphide (CoP) using a simplistic dissolution-regrowth method using NaMoO and a subsequent phosphidation process. This leads to the formation of an exceptional hollow nanocage morphology that is useful for enhanced catalytic activity.
