This feature facilitates the construction of OER/HER transition metal phosphide (TMP) pre-catalysts, making them very attractive precursors of Non-Precious Metal Electrocatalysts (NPMCs) [1, 2] In this work, we report the synthesis and crystal structures of several transition-metal phosphonates derived from the phosphonopropionic acid (PPA), [FexM1-x(HO3PCH2CH2COO)2(H2O)2; M=Co2+ or Ni2+; x= 0, 0.2]. These solids have been prepared for the first time by spray-drying synthesis directly on carbon paper (CP) (Scheme 1). Pyrolysis of spray-dried materials in 5%-H2/Ar led to TMP-based energy-conversion electrocatalysts. As compared with other conventional procedures, this synthetic methodology allowed to improve the water-splitting activity.
