Fund Project: Supported by the National Key R&D Program of China (No.2018YFB1502400) and the Jilin Province Science and Technology Development Program (Nos.20190201300JC, 20180101030JC).

Hydrogen production by water electrolysis has the advantages such as high efficiency and green development, and higher hydrogen purity. The development of efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) must be based on the minimal overpotential to trigger proton reduction and fast kinetics. Palladium-based catalysts are used as one of the electrocatalysts for HER. However, they typically exhibit low activity in electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction as too strong Pd-H bonding makes the electronic desorption of H adatoms (Had) hardly occur. Based on this, a highly efficient catalyst with uniformly dispersed palladium phosphide nanoparticles (Pd₃P NP) embedded in a nitrogen-phosphorus co-doped carbon material (Pd₃P/NPC) was designed and synthesized in this work. The Pd₃P/NPC presented a small overpotential of 11 mV to delivering 10 mA/cm², and a robust stability, which was much better than Pd/C, other reported Pd-based catalysts, and even Pt/C. Moreover, the Pd₃P/NPC electrocatalyst exhibited high turnover frequencies at 20 mV (5.95 H₂/s). It was higher than that of commercial Pt/C and Pd/C catalysts. Experiments evidence revealed that the introduction of P atoms into the Pd nanocrystals formed a Pd-P bond, which restructured the electronic structure of Pd and changed the content of Pd(0) and Pd(+2), promoting the desorption of H atoms. Meanwhile, the introduction of P increased the active site and intrinsic activity.
