Abstract:The quest for advanced Ni-based (pre)catalysts for the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) has been significantly impeded by a lack of understanding regarding the catalytic structures and mechanisms after the surface reconstruction, particularly for metalloid compounds like nickel phosphide. This study systematically investigates the UOR performance of Ni(OH) 2 , nickel phosphate (Ni−P i ), and Ni 2 P, shedding light on the role of electronic structure and surface morphology in dictating catalytic activity.
