Summary:The synchronous construction of metal phosphate and phosphorus-doped carbon structures is of great
 significance to innovate the design, synthesis, and application of catalysts, as these phosphorus
containing composite materials have shown a remarkable contribution to electrocatalysts. However,
 their preparation procedure generally involves using large amounts of excess phosphorus sources for
 phosphorization, which inevitably release poisonous PH3 or dangerous phosphorus vapor. Here, a strat
egy for in-situ formation of FePO4 embedded in P-doped carbon 2D nano film (FePO4/PdC) is developed
 using a highly integrated precursor, which is a small molecular organophosphine ligand, 1,10bis
 (diphenylphosphine) ferrocene (DPPF). The multi-source precursor DPPF that contains Fe, P, and C is
 molecular-vapor-deposited on the nickel foam (NF) supported ZIF-67 nanosheets to obtain the composite
 catalyst, namely DPPF-500/ZIF-67/NF. FePO4/PdC encapsulated the ZIF-67 derived Co/N-doped carbon
 matrix (CoNC) to form a sandwich structure FePO4/PdC@CoNC. The constructed catalyst shows good per
formance for OER, requiring an overpotential of only 297 mV to deliver 600 mA/cm2 with a Tafel slope of
 42.7 mVdec 1. DFT calculations demonstrate that the synergistic effects between the metal active center
 and P-doped carbon film reduce the energy barriers and improve electron transport. This method of con
structing P-containing catalysts overcomes the demand for additiona
