To overcome the sluggish kinetics of electrocatalytic water splitting and advance the hydrogen economy with a sustainable process, it's imperative to search for efficient, cost-effective, and durable nonprecious-metal electrocatalysts. Benefiting from well-defined and porous structures, rich compositional variety, and carbon and nitrogen-containing frameworks, Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) have been recognized as promising templates for a myriad of electrochemical applications. Herein, cobalt- and iron-based PBA (CoFe PBA) derived bimetallic phosphorous trisulfide on molybdenum carbide MXene (PS3-CoFe/MXene) is firstly proposed as a highly promising electrocatalyst to facilitate oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Taking comprehensive advantages of augmented electrical conductivity and intrinsic properties from MXene, the uniform dispersion of catalytically active PS3-CoFe/MXene can provide abundant electroactive sites during catalytic processes. It is found that the PS3-CoFe/MXene possesses competitive HER and OER activities, respectively, with overpotentials of 146 and 240 mV at 10 mA cm−2 in 1.0 M KOH, outperforming single phosphide or sulfide counterparts. Furthermore, it only takes 1.64 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2 and preserves superior long-term stability for at least 120 h under overall water splitting, which implies that the PS3-CoFe/MXene holds great promise in water splitting applications.
