Easily-prepared dinickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles as an efficient and robust electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution

Abstract

Polydispersed dinickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple and scalable solid-state reaction. These nanoparticles are an excellent and robust catalyst for the electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction, operating in both acidic and basic solutions.
