The application discloses high-entropy
metal phosphide nanowires and a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprises the following steps: high-
temperature treatment is performed on carbon nanotubes, the high-temperature treated carbon nanotubes and
metal chlorides are mixed and ball milled to obtain a mixture, the
metal chlorides comprise chlorides of more than five metal elements; in a protective
atmosphere, the mixture is placed in a
reaction chamber, heated to perform a first reaction, and then cooled; a
phosphorus source and a product obtained in the first reaction are respectively placed in different areas of the
reaction chamber, heated to perform a second reaction, and high-entropy metal
phosphide nanowires are prepared. The preparation method of the high-entropy metal
phosphide nanowires provided by the application utilizes carbon nanotubes as a template to construct, fills multiple chlorides, and then reacts with a
phosphorus source under high-temperature conditions to obtain one-dimensional high-entropy metal phosphide, and the prepared high-entropy metal phosphide nanowires can be used as an
electrocatalyst with excellent activity and stability, applied to electrocatalytic
water splitting, and has a wide prospect.
