Highly efficient, cost-effective, and durable electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in water splitting is crucial for energy conversion and storage. Herein, we report NiCoP 1D nanothorn arrays grown on 3D porous Ni film current collectors (Ni/NiCoP) as the novel electrocatalytic electrodes. The 3D hierarchically porous nickel films containing large 7 ± 2 μm pores and small pores less than 1 μm are obtained through using hydrogen bubbles dynamic template method. The NiCoP 1D nanothorns are about 70 nm in diameter and 4-8 μm in length. The porous Ni/NiCoP electrocatalytic electrodes demonstrate much higher catalytic activity and remarkable stability for long-term HER. The excellent electrocatalytic performance might be attributed to the inherent nature of highly catalytic active NiCo bimetal phosphides and the unique architecture of 1D nanothorn active materials directly integrated on the 3D hierarchically porous metallic nickel conductive skeletons. The developed electrode has been fabricated to the integrated solar-driven seawater-splitting system.
