Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Transition-metal phosphides have been investigated as promising materials for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts because of their cost efficiency, high catalytic activity, and good stability. Here, we report the spherical iron phosphide nanoparticles (FeP NPs) doped with various transition metals (Mn, Co, and Ni) via a phosphorization process from Fe-based bimetallic NPs and characterize the changes in their HER activity as a result of doping with different elements. Electrochemical measurements indicated that the Co-FeP NPs exhibited an overpotential of 126 mV to achieve a 10 mA cm −2, demonstrating higher activity than the FeP, Ni-FeP, and Mn-FeP NPs because of their large active surface area and fast charge transfer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that the Co-FeP NPs exhibit a significantly tuned chemical state through the presence of more metal–P bonds and fewer oxidized species compared with the other doped products. In addition, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis revealed substitutional doping of Fe atoms by Co atoms in the FeP crystalline structure. This study provides new insights for the efficient synthesis of doped transition-metal phosphides and for designing nanocatalysts with enhanced catalytic activity.
