Breaking Surface Atomic Monogeneity of Rh 2 P Nanocatalysts by Defect-Derived Phosphorus Vacancies for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Oxidation. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202315752.

Abstract
Breaking atomic monogeneity of catalyst surfaces is promising for constructing synergistic active centers to cope with complex multi-step catalytic reactions. Here, we report a defect-derived strategy for creating surface phosphorous vacancies (P-vacancies) on nanometric Rh2 P electrocatalysts toward drastically boosted electrocatalysis for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). This strategy disrupts the monogeneity and atomic regularity of the thermodynamically stable P-terminated surfaces. Density functional theory calculations initially verify that the competitive adsorption behavior of Had and OHad on perfect P-terminated Rh2 P{200} facets (p-Rh2 P) can be bypassed on defective Rh2 P{200} surfaces (d-Rh2 P). The P-vacancies enable the exposure of sub-surface Rh atoms to act as exclusive H adsorption sites. Therein, the Had cooperates with the OHad on the peripheral P-sites to effectively accelerate the alkaline HOR. Defective Rh2 P nanowires (d-Rh2 P NWs) and perfect Rh2 P nanocubes (p-Rh2 P NCs) are then elaborately synthesized to experimentally represent the d-Rh2 P and p-Rh2 P catalytic surfaces. As expected, the P-vacancy-enriched d-Rh2 P NWs catalyst exhibits extremely high catalytic activity and outstanding CO tolerance for alkaline HOR electrocatalysis, attaining 5.7 and 14.3 times mass activity that of p-Rh2 P NCs and commercial Pt/C, respectively. This work sheds light on breaking the surface atomic monogeneity for the development of efficient heterogeneous catalysts.

Abstract
Earth-abundant catalysts for the hydrogen-evolution reaction require increased mass loadings, relative to Pt films, to achieve comparable activity and stability in acidic electrolytes. We report herein that spontaneous nanostructuring of opaque, electrodeposited CoP films, 40-120 nm in thickness, leads to transparent electrocatalyst films that exhibit up to 90% optical transmission in the visible spectrum. The photocurrent density under simulated sunlight at a representative n+p-Si(100)/CoP photocathode increases by 200% after exposure to 0.50 M H2SO4(aq) and remains stable for 12 h of continuous operation. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy of the film before and after exposure to 0.50 M H2SO4(aq) validate an optical model for transparent CoP films as probed with spectroscopic ellipsometry.

Abstract
NiMo bimetallic phosphide was synthesized from its corresponding oxidic precursor in a 1 : 1 CH4 : CO2 gas mixture for the first time. The in situ synthesized NiMoP phase in the feed for CH4-CO2 reforming can exhibit a higher activity compared to the one prepared in H2.
