Research Progress of Two-Dimensional Transition Metal Phosphides in Electrolytic Water
Hydrogen energy is considered to be one of the most promising alternatives to fossil fuels due to its high calorific value,zero pollution and renewability.Electrolysis of water is an ideal way to produce hydrogen,but the high overpotential will hinder the decomposition of water and reduce the efficiency of electrolysis of water.The development of efficient and stable electrolyzed water catalysts is an effective way to solve the above problem.In recent years,transition metal phosphides(TMPs)with two-dimensional structure has been widely used in the study of hydrogen evolution from electrolytic water due to its advantages of low cost,good conductivity,many active sites and large specific surface area.In this paper,the preparation methods of two-dimensional TMPs as non-precious metal catalysts and their application in electrolyzed water are introduced.The challenges faced by these materials in the application of electrolyzed water are put forward and their future development prospects are prospected.
