Ni2P, an active hydrogen evolving catalyst, is shown to be highly active for oxygen evolution. Only 290 mV of overpotential is required to generate a current density of 10 mA cm–2 in 1 M KOH. Under oxygen evolving conditions, Ni2P undergoes structural modification to form a Ni2P/NiOx core-shell assembly, the catalytic active species. Ni2P is applied on both electrodes of an alkaline electrolyser and a current density of 10 mA cm–2 is generated at 1.63 V. }, number={4}, journal={CHIMIA}, author={Stern, Lucas-Alexandre and Hu, Xile}, year={2016}, month={Apr.}, pages={240} }
