Molybdenum phosphide (MoP) has been recognized as a promising family of non-noble metal electrocatalysts for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) by water splitting, but their electrocatalytic HER activities are still far from desirable and the active sites of MoP-based electrocatalysts have rarely bee...
