predominantly limited to Cu-based materials. Therefore, it is highly desirable to devise
design strategies and synthetic routes for novel electrocatalysts. This study demonstrates an
original synthetic route toward uniform crystalline/amorphous Ni2P/Ho2O3 core/shell
nanoparticles (CSNPs), which produce acetone with a Faradaic efficiency of 25.4%. To date,
this is by far the best performance demonstrated with non-Cu-based electrocatalysts. These …
