Herein, cobalt phosphide (CoP) is loaded on the N/S/phosphorus (P) co-doped carbon matrix (CoP@NSPC) via the carbothermic reduction method using the ginkgo leave-based carbon as the precursor. The N/P co-doped carbon matrix loaded with CoP (CoP@NPC) are also prepared using glucose-based carbon as the support. Effects of intrinsic heteroatoms from ginkgo leaves are revealed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photo-electron spectroscopy (UPS) compared with CoP@NPC. The N/S heteroatoms accelerate the electron transfer and adjust the d-band center of CoP@NSPC, thus causing a faster electrocatalytic process. The as-obtained CoP@NSPC exhibits excellent activity toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER, 160 mV @ 10 mA cm−2) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER, 198 mV @ 10 mA cm−2). The assembly feasibility and catalytic performance are further verified in overall water splitting and exhibits high efficiency and long durability of CoP@NSPC. date: 2023-02 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2022.126368 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1987121 doi: 10.1016/j.fuel.2022.126368 lyricists_name: Luo, Kai lyricists_id: KLUOX54 actors_name: Luo, Kai actors_id: KLUOX54 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Fuel volume: 333 article_number: 126368 citation: Wang, Qichang; Yu, Ran; Shen, Dekui; Liu, Qian; Hong Luo, Kai; Wu, Chunfei; Gu, Sai; (2023) Performance of intrinsic heteroatoms in cobalt phosphide loaded ginkgo leave-based carbon material on promoting the electrocatalytic activity during hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction.
