abstract = {This work presents a systematic and detailed investigation
of the structural, electronic, and electrochemical
properties of Ni–N thin films grown using a reactive
magnetron sputtering at partial nitrogen flow (RN2) of 0,
15, 50, 75, and $100\%.$ Below RN2 = $50\%,$ the phase
formed is metallic Ni with some N atoms occupying
interstitial sites. However, when the RN2 exceeds $50\%,$
the Ni3N phase sets in, and a fully stoichiometric Ni3N
phase is realized at RN2 = $100\%.$ As RN2 increases, the
oxidation state of Ni increases and the structural ordering
improves, as substantiated by X-ray absorption fine
structure and X-ray diffraction analysis. Additionally, hard
X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements confirm the
formation of a fully stoichiometric Ni3N phase at RN2 =
$100\%.$ Finally, the electrocatalytic performance measured
through the oxygen evolution reaction clearly demonstrates
better performance of Ni3N as compared to pure Ni or other
Ni–N phases. This work provides essential building blocks
to establish Ni3N as an environmentally friendly, noble
metal-free, and earth-abundant catalyst for water splitting
reactions.},
