This work establishes the primordial role played by support’s nature when aimed at constitution of Ni2P active phases for supported catalysts. Thus, carbon dioxide reforming methane was studied over three novel catalysts on Al2O3, CeO2 and SiO2-Al2O3 oxides. The catalytic performance, shown catalysts’ series, decreased according to sequence: Ni2P/Al2O3 > Ni2P/CeO2 Ni2P/SiO2-Al2O3. depleted C...

Ion bombardment of Ni2P(0 0 0 1) produces a disordered, Ni-rich surface. For annealing temperatures above 450 K, long range ordering occurs, and the surface Ni/P ratio decreases. Annealing above 700 K produces an ordered (1 · 1) hexagonal surface with a composition near that expected for a simple stoichiometric termination of the bulk structure. Variations in photoemission spectra are observed ...

The synthesis of solvent-less bare-surface nickel phosphides is desired, considering their superior electrocatalytic properties and straightforward synthetic protocols compared to analogues prepared from colloidal routes. Herein, we report the [Ni{S2P(OH)(4-CH3OC6H4)}2] (1), [Fe{S2P(OH)(4-CH3OC6H4)}3] (2) [Co{S2P(OC4H9)(4-CH3OC6H4)}3] (3) utilization form Ni2P, Fe-Ni2P Co-Ni2P in a pyrolysis me...

Lithium-sulfur batteries have evoked intensive attention caused by the urgent requirement of energy storage devices with higher density, long cycle life, and low cost. However, insulating nature soluble reaction intermediate products still hinder its large-scale industry acceptance market. Tremendous efforts focus on composite polar material non-polar to solve weaknesses products. linkage form ...

Monodispersed nickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles were for the first time applied to photocatalytic hydrogen evolution from lactic acid aqueous solution under visible light LED irradiation using CdS nanorods as a photosensitizer. The system exhibited high photocatalytic hydrogen-generating activity and excellent stability in aqueous acidic media.

When compared with pure water, hydrogen produced by seawater electrolysis has a better practical application potential. By replacing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and competitive chlorine (ClER) thermodynamically favorable anodic hydrazine oxidation (HzOR) in alkaline seawater, energy-saving production can be achieved. In this study, Fe/Co dual-doped Ni2P MIL-FeCoNi heterostructures (FeCo...

Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have attracted considerable attention as an advanced electrocatalyst for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Nevertheless, the catalytic efficiency of single-component TMPs is still restricted that cannot endure long-term running and easy to be corroded especially under harsh conditions. In this work, a multicomponent combined with CoP/Ni2P heteronanoparticles ...
