Enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of transition metal phosphides (TMPs) for hydrogen evolution has become an attractive way for noble-metal-free electrocatalysts. In this work, a novel composite of network-like TUNGSTEN PHOSPHIDE (cas 12037-70-6) nanostructures on carbon fibers ([email protected]) was prepared by a two-step high-temperature calcination strategy. Owing to the high electrochemical active surface area originating from the WP nanostructures of network-like morphology and the enhanced conductivity caused by the introduction of carbon fibers, the obtained [email protected] composite, as an integrated hydrogen evolution cathode, exhibits much higher electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution than pure WP nano-/micro-particles after toasting their corresponding suspension onto bare CFs. This catalyst could, in 0.5 mol·L−1 H2SO4, deliver a current density of 10 and 100 mA·cm−2 respectively at the over-potential of merely 137 mV and 215 mV, and present a small Tafel slope of 69 mV·dec−1 as well as excellent stability at various current densities, although it may exhibit relatively inferior catalytic activity in hydrogen evolution in neutral and alkaline conditions. The present strategy may also offer a straight-forward model to enhance the hydrogen evolution activity of other TMPs catalysts.
