[Display omitted] •P doping can weaken MO bonds by forming PO bonds.•The deposition of metal nanodots can destabilize water molecules.•This strategy can effectively improve Volmer and Heyrovsky process of HER catalysis.•The mechanism of enhanced HER activity is well explained. The layered double hyd...
