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