Adenosine triphosphate induced transition-metal phosphide nanostructures encapsulated with N, P-codoped carbon toward electrochemical water splitting

A universal and scalable synthetic strategy is proposed to prepare various N, P co-doped carbon-encapsulated transition metal phosphide nanostructures (TMP@NPCs) employing green and low-cost adenosine triphosphate (ATP) as a novel phosphorus source.
