Herein, we present hierarchical Mo-doped NiCoP@carbon microspheres that exhibit a noticeable enhancement in catalytic activity and fast kinetics for hydrogen evolution. An overpotential of 74.6 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and 54.9 mV dec−1 can be achieved. These results demonstrated the excellent electrochemical properties arising from the intrinsic characteristics of elemental doping and morphology control. We believe that this work opens a new avenue to fabricating TMD-based catalysts via the engineering of transition metal compounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
