Abstract: [Display omitted] • We interfaced CrOx with CuS on carbon fiber substrate whose junction deliver intriguing structural/electronic property. • The theoretical calculation proved that charges are mainly distributed between the CuS layer and the Cr 2 O 3. • The co-existence of CrOx and CuS triggered charge transfer at the interface. • The heterojunction gave rise to the advent of defects/low-coordinated central metal atom. • The presented methodology would guide subsequent works focused on altering the intrinsic properties of oxide-sulfide interface. The sluggish kinetics associated with the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) limits the sustainability of fuel production and chemical synthesis. Developing catalysts based on Earth abundant elements with a reasonable strategy could solve the challenge. Here, we present a heterostructure built from CrOx and CuS whose interface gives rise to the advent of new functionalities in catalytic activity. Using X-ray photoelectron and absorption spectroscopies, we identified the multiple oxidation states and low coordination number of Cr metal in CrOx-CuS heterostructure. Benefitting from these features, CrOx-CuS generates oxygen gas through water splitting with a low over potential of 190 mV vs RHE at a current density of 10 mA cm−2. The catalyst shows no evident deactivation after a 36-hours operation in alkaline medium. The high catalytic activity, inspired by first principles calculations, and long-time durability make it one of the most effective OER electrocatalysts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
