Increasing demand for hydrogen energy has boosted the exploration of inexpensive and effective catalysts. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) have been proven as excellent catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Very recently, the search for TMP-based catalysts has being mainly directed at enhanced electrocatalytic performance. Hence, a concluded guideline for enhancing HER activity is highly desired. In this mini review, we briefly summarize the most recent and instructive developments in the design of TMP-based catalysts with enhanced electrocatalysis for hydrogen evolution from composition and structure engineering strategies. These strategies and perspectives are also meaningful for designing other inexpensive and high-performance catalysts.
对氢能的需求不断增加，推动了对廉价且高效催化剂的探索。过渡金属磷化物（TMPs）已被证明是析氢反应（HER）的优秀催化剂。最近，基于 TMP 的催化剂的研究主要集中在提高电催化性能上。因此，非常需要一个总结性的增强 HER 活性的指导方针。在这篇迷你综述中，我们简要总结了通过组成和结构工程策略设计具有增强电催化析氢性能的 TMP 基催化剂的最新和有启发性的进展。这些策略和观点对于设计其他廉价且高性能的催化剂也具有意义。
