Abstract Using K3[Co(CN)6] as Co source, thiurea as S source and natural hydrophilic polymer chitosan rich in -OH and -NH2 as carbon source, the Co precursor and S source were uniformly distributed in the C precursor by forming CS-K3[Co(CN)6] hydrogel. The main driving force of hydrogel formation is the coordination crosslinking of metal Co ions with -NH2 in chitosan and the bridging between Co ions via -CN. Thanks to the uniformly dispersed precursor and the catalysis of the Co formed at the initial stage of subsequent pyrolysis, N, S co-doped carbon nanosheets with encaged Co/Co9S8 heterojunction (Co/Co9S8@N, S-CNSs) were constructed in situ by simply regulating the atomic ratio of Co to S. The morphology, composition and structure of the prepared electrocatalysts and the oxygen evolution reaction performance were analyzed with SEM, TEM, BET, XRD, Raman, XPS and electrochemical workstations. The results show that the Mott-Schottky type Co/Co9S8 interface effectively regulates the electronic structure and charge-transport characteristics of the active center. The loading of two-dimensional doped porous carbon nanosheets makes the active sites more evenly dispersed, while providing high-speed electron and mass transfer channels, as well as avoiding the migration and aggregation of active sites during the catalytic process. The synergistic action of these two allows the proposed Co/Co9S8@N, S-CNSs catalyst have better electrocatalytic performances. At a current density of 10 mA·cm-2, the overpotential of the proposed catalyst for basic oxygen evolution reaction/OER is only 304 mV, which is better than that of the commercial RuO2. This study is helpful for the development of cheap transition metal catalysts with excellent electrocatalytic properties.
