Ni-doped WP₂ nanowirearrays were successfully prepared on carbon cloth(CC)by the hydrothermal method, and then phosphorized using the high vacuum solid-phase phosphorization method to obtain CC surface-grown Ni-doped WP₂ nanowire composite material (Ni-WP₂ NWs/CC). The electrochemical test results show that after Ni doping, the overpotential of the hydrogen evolution reaction in the alkaline environment was reduced. When the molar ratio of Ni and W was 10%, the 10%Ni-WP₂ NWs/CCexhibited the best catalytic performance. Under alkaline conditions, when the current density was 10 and 100 mA·cm^-2, the required overpotentials for 10%Ni-WP₂ NWs/CC were 115 and 190 mV, respectively. After Ni doping, the electrochemically active surface area of 10%Ni-WP₂ NWs/CC significantly increased. In addition, the catalyst maintained good working stability under long-term electrocatalytic conditions.
