“…At the early stage, the preparation of metal phosphides required harsh conditions with the use of flammable phosphorus and high toxic phosphine as the phosphating reagent, which undoubtedly impeded the scale‐up synthesis and applications . With the booming of synthetic‐chemistry and nanoscience, some novel synthetic methods are springing up.…”

“…The corresponding phase structure, size, and morphology of products are controllable by manipulating the reaction temperature, solvent types, or the molar ratio of metal to phosphorus. Notably, the limitation of this method is required rigorously inert atmosphere conditions to prevent the release of highly flammable phosphorus . In contrast, the electrochemical deposition is much milder because the electrodeposition process is mainly carried out in room temperature and will not release the high‐toxic substance.…”

“…When the temperature is exceeding 250 °C, NaH 2 PO 2 is quickly decomposed with simultaneously releasing PH 3, which can further react with the metal oxides precursor to produce metal phosphides. The reaction equation can be expressed as follows: 2NaH 2 PO 2 →Na 2 HPO 4 +PH 3 ↑, then PH 3 + M y O z →MP x . Owing to proceeded at low temperature (300 °C) and short time (2 h), this method can maximize the retention of the morphology of precursors, which paves a new way for the fabrication of nanostructured metal phosphides.…”

The exploitation of cheap and efficient electrocatalysts is the key to make energy‐related electrocatalytic techniques commercially viable. In recent years, transition metal phosphides (TMPs) electrocatalysts have gained a great deal of attention owing to their multifunctional active sites, tunable structure, and composition, as well as unique physicochemical properties. This review summarizes the up‐to‐date progress on TMPs in energy‐related electrocatalysis from diversified synthetic methods, ingenious‐modulated strategies, and novel applications. In order to set forth theory–structure–performance relationships upon TMPs, the corresponding reaction mechanisms, electrocatalytsts' structure/composition designs and desired electrochemical performance are jointly discussed, along with demonstrating their practical electrocatalytic applications in overall water splitting, metal–air batteries, lithium–sulfur batteries, etc. In the end, some underpinning issues and research orientations of TMPs toward efficient energy‐related electrocatalysis are briefly proposed.

“…Likewise, for the annealed phosphorized samples, no phosphide or phosphate peaks are identified from Figure 1g.C o/ Ni(II, III) oxides are detected, which is consistentw ith the fact that this synthesis method is mild, not causing severe changes to the components or structure of the sample.

Sustainable production of hydrogen is a hopeful requirement of a strategic future economy and development. Water splitting driven by electricity is a favorable pathway for renewable hydrogen production. This critical review highlighted recent efforts toward the development of the nanoscale synthesis of nonprecious metal's graphene‐supported electrocatalysts and their electrocatalytic features for remarkable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Different essential nonprecious metal's graphene‐supported electrocatalysts, including metal carbides, sulfides, phosphides, selenides, oxides, and nitrides are reviewed. In the exploration, attention is given to the strategies of activity enhancement, the synthetic approach, and the composition/structure electrocatalytic‐performance relationship of these HER electrocatalysts. We are hopeful that this review confers a new momentum to the rational design of remarkable performance nonprecious metal's graphene‐supported electrocatalysts and comprehensive guide for researchers to utilize the subject catalysts in regular water splitting.
