Reports improved synthesis of multimetallic phosphide nanoparticles in air, indicating potential for advanced nanomaterials applications.
Multimetallic phosphide nanoparticles (MMP NPs) represent an emerging class of functional nanomaterials with exceptional tunability and synergistic electronic properties; however, their scalable synthesis under ambient conditions remains a major challenge. Herein, we report a universal laser‐assisted strategy for the direct synthesis of MMP NPs on carbon paper in air via a rapid two‐step process involving laser‐induced alloying and subsequent solid‐state phosphidation. Enabled by a continuous‐wave blue diode laser, this approach generates a highly localized, ultrahigh‐temperature nonequilibrium environment that facilitates carbothermal reduction, multimetallic alloy formation, and subsequent phosphidation without inert atmospheres or post‐annealing. The method is composition‐agnostic and readily extendable to a CO 2 laser platform, allowing the synthesis of a series of MMP NPs ranging from binary to septenary compositions with homogeneous elemental distributions, even among normally immiscible metals. As a representative example, FeNiCoP exhibits outstanding oxygen evolution reaction activity in alkaline seawater, delivering an overpotential of 0.301 V at 100 mA cm −2 , along with excellent long‐term durability over 680 h of continuous operation. This work establishes a scalable, versatile laser‐based platform for the ambient synthesis of complex multimetallic phosphides and broadens the toolbox for advanced functional nanomaterials synthesis.
