Development of efficient and earth-abundant bifunctional catalysts towards oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is imperative to overall water splitting. Herein, in-situ vertically grown bimetallic phosphide nanosheets containing abundant Cu3P/Ni2P heterogeneous interfaces are successfully synthesized on Cu foam (marked as Cu3P/Ni2P@CF) as the bifunctional electrocatalyst for both HER and OER. Owing to the synergistic effects of electronic regulation of heterojunction and the hierarchical array structure on 3D substrate, the Cu3P/Ni2P@CF integrated electrode displays the overpotential of 330 mV @ 50 mA cm-2 for OER and 88.1 mV @ 10 mA cm-2 for HER in 1 M KOH. Interestingly, the catalyst -based water electrolyzer only demands a low cell voltage of 1.56 V@10 mA cm-2, exceeding the integrated Pt/C + IrO2 counterpart. D. functional theory (DFT) results further disclose that the charge rearrangement of heterogeneous interface can not only endow the hydrogen binding energy (ΔG*H) approach to zero, but also boost the H2O dissociation and *OH desorption via multi-site synergy for HER. This work provides a valuable approach to construct advanced materials towards overall water splitting. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Cuprichydroxide (cas: 20427-59-2Application In Synthesis of Cuprichydroxide).
Cuprichydroxide (cas: 20427-59-2) belongs to copper catalysts. Transition metal-catalyzed chemical transformation of organic electrophiles and organometallic reagents belong to the most important cross-coupling reaction in organic synthesis. It is clear from the impact copper catalysis has had on organic synthesis that copper should be considered a first line catalyst for many organic reactions.Application In Synthesis of Cuprichydroxide
