Synergistic interfacial electronic modulation of topotactically developed bimetallic CoNiP on NiS nanorods for enhanced alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction

Abstract

(CoNiP) at the coupled interfaces and facilitates the adsorption and desorption of H* intermediates during the HER process. The resulting electrode exhibits excellent performance in the HER catalytic process and shows great performance for further exploration in the urea oxidation reaction (UOR). Our work provides a stepping stone toward rational topotactic transformation of active materials on porous substrates, using electronic structure regulation and heterointerfaces to produce promising electrocatalysts for sustainable, large-scale hydrogen production from water electrolysis.
