Summary: The regulation mechanism of p-n heterogeneous interface and vacancy defects on electrocatalytic performance is still a challenge. Researchers have successfully developed a nitrogen-vacancy-rich Co2N/CoP@CC p-n junction with enhanced HER and OER activities. The Co2N/CoP@CC exhibits HER activity comparable to Pt/C catalyst with an ultra-low overpotential of 44 mV and excellent OER activity with an overpotential as low as 227 mV at 10 mA cm-2 in alkaline medium. The outstanding electrocatalytic activity of Co2N/CoP@CC is attributed to the synergy effect of abundant nitrogen vacancies and built-in electric field induced by rich p-n interfaces, which promote electron transfer, charge redistribution, and adjust the adsorption/desorption free energy of intermediates.
