Abstract:
In this work, we develop a hierarchical carbon foam-based monolithic electrode (Co2P@HCF) from Co2+-adsorbed polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) sponge via the successive carbonization and phosphorization. Owing to the 3D hierarchical porous structure, excellent electrolyte wettability, good mechanical strength, and intimate embedding of highly dispersed Co2P nanoparticles, the Co2P@HCF electrode delivers a high current density of 1.0 A cm-2 for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) at ultralow overpotentials of 189.6 and 218.6 mV in 0.5 M H2SO4 and 1.0 M KOH solutions, respectively, with remarkable durability for 100 h.
