Producing highly efficient bifunctional catalyst for the generation of hydrogen and oxygen through overall water splitting is an emerging direction in electrocatalysis. Herein, a dandelion-like hierarchical NiMoP2-Ni2P (nanowire/nanoparticle) heterostructure was synthesized for efficient electrochemical water splitting. The NiMoP2-Ni2P heterostructures grown on carbon cloth as a freestanding integrated electrode exhibited excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) activities with low overpotentials (258 mV and 53 mV to reach 10 mA cm−2for the OER and HER, respectively), and small Tafel slope (45 mV dec-1and 58 mV dec-1for the OER and HER, respectively). Moreover, the NiMoP2-Ni2P heterostructure can act as both anode and cathode catalysts for overall water splitting with low overall potential of 1.48 V at 10 mA cm−2. Density functional theory (DFT) combined with structural probes suggests that the amorphous heterogeneous interfaces play an essential role in enhanced catalytic performance.
