Figure 8. (A) TEM images of the Er-doped CoP nanomesh; (B) Polarization curves of bare CC, CoP, Er-doped CoP and Pt/C in 1.0 M KOH; (C) XPS full spectra of CoP and Er-doped CoP, respectively. This figure is quoted with permission from Zhang et al.[94]; (D) LSV polarization curves of Er-NiCoP/NF, NiCoP/NF, bare NF, and commercial Pt/C for HER; (E) Calculated free-energy diagram of NiCoP and Er-NiCoP for HER; (F) XPS analysis of survey scan and high resolution. This figure is quoted with permission from Zhang et al.[95]. (G) Aberration-corrected (AC) HAADF-STEM image of Pt-Er/h-NC; (H) Polarization curves of Pt-Er/h-NC and the references; (I) The theoretical volcano of HER on Pt atoms of various Pt-based catalysts.
