Highly bifunctional Rh2P on N,P-codoped carbon for hydrazine oxidation assisted energy-saving hydrogen production

Abstract

Highly pure Rh₂P nanoparticles on N,P-codoped carbon were synthesized by a simple “mix-and-pyrolyze” method using one kind of low-cost nucleotide as the carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus source, which exhibits excellent bifunctional activity for the hydrogen reduction and hydrazine oxidation reactions, achieving energy-efficient hydrogen production.
