Abstract:
In this work, we successfully develop a binder-free phosphorus-engineered perovskite-based catalyst grown on nickel foam via a hydrothermal-phosphorization strategy. For the first time, an as-synthesized perovskite-based nickel phosphide catalyst exhibits excellent electrocatalytic oxidation (ECO) performance for biomass valorization to supersede the competitive oxygen evolution reaction (OER).
