Here we present a novel combined-strategy of cation tuning and surface engineering for the fabrication of highly active, earth-abundant, and robust two-dimensional Ni2P electrocatalyst. The nanosheets have lateral sizes of few hundred nm with thicknesses of ~6 nm. Our theoretical calculations sugges...
