Here,　polyhedral　nickel-tungsten　oxide　(NiWO)　precursor　was　prepared　on　nickel　foam　via　the　one-step　hydrothermal　method,　and　then　it　was　phosphatized　at　different　temperatures　to　obtain　the　plate　nickel-tungsten　phosphide　(NiWP)@polyhedral　NiWO　composite　electrocatalyst.　The　results　showed　that　optimizing　phosphating　temperature　can　significantly　improve　the　electrocatalytic　hydrogen　evolution　performance　of　the　plate　NiWP@polyhedron　NiWO.　When　the　phosphating　temperature　was　450　degrees　C,　it　exhibited　excellent　hydrogen　evolution　catalytic　activity　with　an　overpotential　of　115　mV　to　achieve　10　mA　center　dot　cm(-2).　The　Tafel　slope　was　85　mV　center　dot　dec(-1),　which　was　similar　to　Pt.　In　addition,　the　24　h　long-term　stability　test　showed　that　the　electrocatalyst　had　good　stability.　This　excellent　performance　can　be　attributed　to　the　fact　that　the　plate　NiWP@polyhedral　NiWO　composite　structure　increases　the　catalytic　active　area,　reduces　the　charge/mass　transfer　resistance,　accelerates　the　electron　transfer　rate,　and　increases　the　reaction　kinetics　performance.
