Engineering interface, regulating morphology, and doping heteroatoms are regarded as effective strategies for boosting the electrocatalytic performances of transition-metal phosphides (TMPs), while still encounter some challenges to obtain desirable stability and sustaining catalytic activity. Herein, the Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 self-supported electrode was successfully synthesized via pyrolysis of FeNi/ZIF-67/CC precursors followed by phosphating. In this structure, Fe-doped CoP and Ni 2 P composite nanoparticles are uniformly confined in the porous carbon matrix and anchored firmly on the surface of carbon cloth (CC). Moreover, the flocculent-like Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 demonstrates superhydrophilicity to significantly facilitate mass transfer, while the unique morphology originates from a facile strategy of soaking ZIF-67/CC in the mixed solution composed of FeSO 4 and NiSO 4 . The synthesized Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 integrates the advantages of abundant active sites, confinement effect, interface regulation and superhydrophilicity, thereby demonstrating superior HER and OER activities and stabilities in an alkaline medium (1.0 M KOH). Remarkably, Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 electrodes used both as anode and cathode require a cell voltage of only 1.49 V at 10 mA cm −2 , much lower than that of the well-established 20 % Pt-C/CC and RuO 2 /CC couple (1.612 V). Besides, Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 system exhibits an outstanding stability for monitoring water splitting up to 100 h at 10 mA cm −2 . DFT results further confirm that the heterointerface and Fe doping in Fe-CoP/Ni 2 P@NC/CC-350 lead to a upshift d-band center of active sites and decreased reaction Gibbs energy barrier for the rate-determining step during catalysis, thereby contributing to the superior HER and OER activities. The work provides a novel strategy to construct a superhydrophilic microstructure, and the synergistic effect of electrons originating from the heterointerface and doping paves the way for designing electrocatalysts with high activities toward water splitting.

The preparation of two-dimensional (2D) composite material consisting of an active metal-based phase and carbon matrix is still a challenge. Herein, the 2D bimetal Co-TCPP(Fe) metal–organic framework (MOF) is synthesized and then adopted as the precursor to prepare a 2D composite electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). After carbonization and phosphorization, the 2D MOF is transformed into a composite nanoplate formed by Fe-doped CoP nanoparticles and a carbon matrix (Fe-CoP/C). This Fe-CoP/C composite exhibits a favorable OER performance in 1 M KOH with a low overpotential of 290 mV at 10 mA cm−2, which is better than that of counterparts without Fe and 2D morphology. The in situ formed metal (oxy)hydroxide is considered to be the main active species for the OER. The improved OER performance of Fe-CoP/C could be attributed to the Fe-doping in Co (oxy)hydroxide as well as the high electrochemical surface area induced by the 2D nanoplate morphology and conductive carbon network.

Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) serve as the most promising electrochemical processes for renewable energy. Developing multifunctional electrocatalysts with high performance for HER, OER and ORR still remains a challenge. Herein, we report a facile method to prepare P, N-co-doped porous carbon encapsulated Fe-CoP (A-Fe-CoP/CPN) electrocatalyst through freeze drying, carbonization, and KOH activation. The acquired A-Fe-CoP/CPN possesses abundant pores with large surface area, which provides sufficient defect-rich sites for HER, OER, and ORR, in alkaline or acidic electrolytes. The A-Fe-CoP/CPN shows low overpotential and good stability for HER and OER in alkaline electrolyte. Density functional theory (DFT) computations reveal that the addition of Fe greatly facilitates the rate-determining step and overall catalytic pathway for both HER and OER. A-Fe-CoP/CPN also exhibits low half-wave potential ( E 1/2 ) for ORR, which indicates an enhanced performance than that of the noble Pt/C catalyst. Zn-air battery equipped with the A-Fe-CoP/CPN catalyst exhibits a high energy density (849 mAh g −1 ) and a long-time stability at 5 mA cm −2 . This finding not only offers a facile strategy to prepare porous carbon materials with defect-rich sites, but also provides guidance for developing multifunctional electrocatalysts for wide electrochemical reactions.

Cobalt-based transition metal phosphides (TMPs) exhibit huge potential as efficient OER electrocatalysts for commercial applications. Zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) has been served as an appealing precursor for the synthesis of cobalt-based TMPs owing to its distinctive structural advantages. However, the poor conductivity and structural variability of ZIF-67 affect the materials’ OER electrocatalytic performance. To enhance the structural stability and OER performance of ZIF-67 derived TMPs, in this work, a polyhedral TMP nanocomposite with porous hollow structure, featuring Fe-CoP on the outer shell and CoP nanoparticles within the cavity, was synthesized using ZIF-67 as template. The ZIF-67 served as both Co precursor and structure template, and the [Fe(CN) 6 ] 3− served as precursor of Fe dopant and structure stabilizer. The resulting TMP composite electrode (Fe-CoP) effectively retains the framework of ZIF-67, exhibiting prominently improved OER activity (η 10 = 297 mV) and exceptional stability (over 260 h). The Fe–C≡N–Co bonds positively influence the preservation of the sample’s morphology after phosphorization. Additionally, a ligand-substitution strategy is proposed for the formation of the designed structure. This strategy, regulating the morphology of 3D structured MOFs, offers a new understanding on stabilizing the geometric structure of MOFs and their derivatives as structure templates.
