Dual-function Ln modification in multi-shell CoP: antioxidant stabilization and H* adsorption modulation for boosting hydrogen evolution electrocatalysis
Herein, a multi-shelled Ce-doped CoP/CoO microsphere (CoP/CoO-5%Ce-ms) was constructed <i>via</i> morphological and rare earth engineering. Experimental and theoretical investigations disclose Ce-induced dual functions: suppressing oxidation and optimizing electronic structure. As a result, the active CoP phase, the H* adsorption energy and the active site number were improved to boost HER activity.
