Presented here is a facile approach to bimetallic phosphides, Co-Fe-P, via high-temperature (300°C) reaction between Co-Fe-O nanoparticles and trioctylphosphine. The growth of Co-Fe-P from the Co-Fe-O is anisotropic. As a result, Co-Fe-P nanorods (from the polyhedral Co-Fe-O nanoparticles) and sea-urchin-like Co-Fe-P (from the cubic Co-Fe-O nanoparticles) are synthesized with both nanorod and the sea-urchin-arm dimensions controlled by Co/Fe ratios. The Co-Fe-P structure, especially the sea-urchin-like (Co_0.54Fe_0.46)₂P, shows enhanced catalysis for oxygen evolution reaction in KOH with its catalytic efficiency surpassing Ir catalyst. Our synthesis is simple and may be readily extended to the preparation of other multimetallic phosphides for important catalysis and energy storage applications.
