Abstract:

For seeking cheap， high performance and stable catalysts to replace noble metals. In this paper， sulfide/phosphide catalysts were obtained by one-step annealing treatment with transition metals Ni/Co， and the successful preparation of the catalysts was verified by electron detection and elemental analysis method. The electrochemical test results showed that the catalytic activity and charge transfer rate of the prepared Ni-Co sulfide/phosphide exceeded those of Ni-Co hydroxide/sulfide/phosphide due to the synergistic effect between anions/cations. Ni-Co sulfur/phosphide only requires an overpotential of 106 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA·cm-2 and the stability was more than 20 h.

Key words: transition metal based catalyst, hydrogen evolution reaction, sulphide phosphates, heterostructure, synergistic effect
