Abstract

Abstract : Nanobundles of iron phosphide composite constructed by quasi‐paralleled 1D nanorods have been successfully fabricated by a one‐step phosphorization of an iron‐based metal–organic framework. The hierarchical porous structure and rich directional channels not only enable the feasible accessibility of active sites, but also accelerate the mass transport and gas bubble release, which effectively promote the electrochemical processes towards a hydrogen evolution reaction at an alkaline electrolyte.
