  • Publication number: 20230002921
    Abstract: A coral reef-like nickel phosphide-tungsten oxide nanocomposite is disclosed. The coral reef-like nickel phosphide-tungsten oxide nanocomposite has a structure in which algae-like transition metal-doped nickel phosphide nanosheets are deposited on coral-like tungsten oxide nanostructures grown vertically on a substrate. This structure allows the coral reef-like nickel phosphide-tungsten oxide nanocomposite to have a large surface area, which leads to a significant increase in the number of catalytic active sites, and ensures high conductivity and electrochemical stability of the coral reef-like nickel phosphide-tungsten oxide nanocomposite. Due to these advantages, the coral reef-like nickel phosphide-tungsten oxide nanocomposite has a low overpotential and superior hydrogen evolution reaction or oxygen evolution reaction efficiency when applied to a water splitting catalyst under alkaline conditions.

  • Publication number: 20230002922
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transition metal-doped nickel phosphide nanostructure, a method for preparing the same, and a catalyst for electrochemical water decomposition including the transition metal-doped nickel phosphide nanostructure. More specifically, a transition metal-doped nickel phosphide nanostructure can be prepared by converting a zinc oxide nanostructure grown on a substrate vertically by hydrothermal synthesis to a transition metal-doped nickel oxide nanostructure by cation exchange and then phosphorizing the nickel oxide. The transition metal-doped nickel phosphide nanostructure of the present disclosure is advantageous in that it has superior catalytic activity and conductivity due to large surface area. In addition, when used as a catalyst for water decomposition under an alkaline condition, it has a low overvoltage and can have excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction or oxygen evolution reaction.
