Defect Engineering and Carbon Supporting to Achieve Ni-Doped CoP3 with High Catalytic Activities for Overall Water Splitting

Highlights Plasma-assisted phosphorization has been used to prepare defect-rich metal phosphides. The p-NiCoP/NCF@CC shows high activities and excellent stability for the hydrogen evolution reaction and the oxygen evolution reaction. The p-NiCoP/NCF@CC shows great potential for overall water splitting.
