Abstract

A phosphorus-vacancy-rich multi-metal phosphide catalyst was fabricated by transition-metal doping and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. In alkaline media, NiFeWP(VP) delivers 144 mV for OER at 10 mA cm−2, while NiWP(VP) shows an HER overpotential of 111 mV at the same current density.
