Popis: Exploration of high-efficiency and inexpensive electrode catalysts is of vital importance for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this research, an amorphous Co-Al-P layer was constructed on the surface of CoAl layered double hydroxide (CoAl-LDH) via an in-situ wet phosphidation strategy. The core-shell CoAl-LDH@Co-Al-P on Ti mesh (CoAl-LDH@Co-Al-P/TM) as an active HER electrocatalyst demands an overpotential of 150 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 at neutral pH. Moreover, CoAl-LDH@Co-Al-P/TM also exhibits good electrochemical stability and a superior Faradic efficiency of nearly 100%.
