Single source precursor route for the first graphene oxide-PdP nanocomposite: application in electrochemical hydrogen evolution reaction
For the first time, Pd 6 P has been synthesised using a simple, straightforward and one-pot method i.e. , thermolysis of a Pd( ii ) complex of a bidentate (P, N) organophosphorus ligand (anthracene-9-yl-CH&z.dbd;N-CH 2 CH 2 -PPh 2 ). The electrocatalyst (obtained after grafting nanospheres of Pd...
