Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting 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
Electrocatalytic water splitting is an efficient way to provide green energy hydrogen (H 2 ), and it is a challenge to prepare high-efficiency and inexpensive electrocatalysts. In this work, we constructed two-dimensional (2D) CoP-Ni 2 P heterostructure nanosheets intertwined with carbon nanotube (CoP-Ni 2 P/CNT) as bifunctional electrocatalysts with excellent performance. The CoP-Ni 2 P/CNT exhibits the outstanding HER (an overpotential of 82 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slope of 62.6 mV dec −1 ) and OER (an overpotential of 210 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slope of 97.4 mV dec −1 ) activities. The optimal electrocatalytic performance of the CoP-Ni 2 P/CNT are ascribed to the following factors: i) the introduction of CNTs into electrocatalysts is helpful to reduce excessive aggregation of nanosheets and enhance the electron transport rate; ii) the 2D nanosheet structure and interface designing of CoP-Ni 2 P/CNT expose more active sites, which are beneficial to enhance electrocatalytic performance toward HER and OER. In a two-electrode system, the cell voltage is 1.39 V to reach 10 mA cm −2 after adding 0.1 M urea into 1 M KOH electrolyte. This obviously low voltage implies the feasibility of realizing energy-saving hydrogen production and urea degradation. All these results reveal the CoP-Ni 2 P/CNT is a promising bifunctional electrocatalyst toward practical application.
