Abstract

Elaborate design of highly active catalysts from earth-abundant elements is important for the development of water-splitting devices. We have synthesized {2 1 1} high index-faceted Ni ₁₂ P ₅ nanoplates and Ni ₁₂ P ₅ spherical nanoparticles (SNPs) by the one-step solvothermal method. The Ni ₁₂ P ₅ nanoplates show enhanced hydrogen evolution reaction activity with a lower overpotential of -128 mV and a smaller Tafel slope of 60.6 mV dec ^-1 compared to Ni ₁₂ P ₅ SNPs. Stability tests reveal exceptional durability of the catalyst. This study offers an attractive catalytic material for large-scale hydrogen production technology.
