The invention provides an ellipsoidal polyhedral MOF (
Metal Organic Framework) derived
phosphide as well as a preparation method and application thereof, and relates to the technical field of electro-catalytic materials. The preparation method comprises the following steps: mixing soluble
cobalt salt, 2-methylimidazole and an
alcohol solvent for a coordination reaction, and mixing an obtained solution containing a Co-MOF material with soluble
rhenium salt for a
solvothermal reaction to obtain a Re-Co-MOF material; the Re-Co-MOF material is subjected to in-situ phosphorization, and the ellipsoidal polyhedron-shaped MOF derivative
phosphide is obtained. Re atoms are introduced into the Co-MOF-derived
phosphide Co2P, the catalytic microenvironment of the Co2P can be adjusted, the
electronic structure of the Co2P can be adjusted and controlled, the
conductivity of the Co2P is improved, meanwhile, the surface
potential energy in the synthesis process of the Co2P is adjusted and controlled, the morphology of the Co2P is optimized, and then the catalytic activity of the Co2P is improved. The MOF derivative phosphide prepared by the invention has excellent water
electrolysis hydrogen /
oxygen evolution activity and full
hydrolysis electrocatalytic activity.
