Abstract
AbstractThe use of non‐precious metal materials for catalyzing the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) holds significant importance for the widespread application of new energy technologies. In this study, we prepare a novel foam nickel (NF) supported NixCoP (NixCoP@NF) nanocrystal through a one‐pot hydrothermal method and high‐temperature phosphorization, involving a straightforward process. Innovatively, we achieve morphology control of NixCoP@NF by altering the Ni : Co ratio to maximize its active surface area. The resulting ′petal‐like′ Ni0.5CoP@NF nanostructure exhibits high activity and long‐term durability in an alkaline medium (1 M KOH), with an overpotential of 58 mV at a current density of 10 mA ⋅ cm−2, a Tafel slope of 60.82 mV ⋅ dec−1, and demonstrates lower impedance compared to most non‐precious metal HER electrocatalysts. Furthermore, the variation in activation energy (Ea) reflects the thermodynamic advantages during the electrolysis process. This work offers a new approach for the development of simple and cost‐effective HER catalysts.
