Abstract: In this report, a bifunctional electrocatalyst: Co nanoparticles attached on N-doped graphitized carbon material (Co@NC) was obtained by utilizing the porous Co(II)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursors under the one-step thermal treatment. The composites were fully analyzed by XRD, XPS, SEM, TEM, and BET and so on. The electrochemical explorations (OER and HER) show that the overpotential of Co@NC-6h- 3 ​at the current density 10 ​mA ​cm−2 is the lower the commercial RuO 2 catalyst (350 ​mA for 3 ; 380 ​mA for RuO 2). The Tafel slopes of the composite material are 63 ​mV dec−1, which is comparable to the RuO 2 (58 ​mV dec−1). The HER exploration show that the overpotential are 220 mv for 3 , and the Tafel slopes of 3 is 119 ​mV dec−1 for 3. The explorations reveals that the composites Co@NC-6h- 3 reveals good and stable catalytic performances for HER and OER, providing us with an efficient method to obtain the electrocatalysts via the pyrolysis of MOFs. [Display omitted] In this report, a new bifunctional electrocatalyst with the structure of Co nanoparticles embedded into N-doping graphitized carbon materials (Co@NC) was obtained by using a porous Co(II)-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as precursor under the one-step thermal treatment. The electrochemical properties explorations show that Co@NC-6h- 3 reveals the excellent and stable catalytic performances for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER and OER). • ►A bifunctional electrocatalyst composites based Co, N and C are obtained by using a Co(II)-based MOFs. • ►The advantage is that Co nanoparticles can uniformly disperse in the electrocatalyst composite materials. • ►Co@NC-6h- 3 shows the excellent and stable catalytic performances for HER and OER.
