摘要：

Binary transition metal-based nitrides are promising for overall water splitting. Morphology and heterojunction engineering is important to realize effective catalysis, but their simultaneous engineering remains a challenge. Herein, we have shown the designed synthesis of porous 2D molybdenum nitride/cobalt nitride heterojunction nanosheets (2D porous Mo2N-CoxN) based on controllable nitridation of Mo species modified Co(OH)(2) (Co-Mo-O) nanosheets by cutting ZIF-67 polyhedra in Na2MoO4 aqueous solution. The combined advantages, including the favourable water dissociation kinetics due to the electron redistribution at the heterointerface as shown by theoretical calculations, the large accessible surface of the nanosheets and enhanced mass-transport ability of pores, endow the 2D porous Mo2N-CoxN with excellent electrocatalytic HER activity with a low overpotential at a current density of 10 mA cm(-2) (eta(10) of 29 mV, close to that of Pt/C) and good OER performance with eta(10) of 247 mV. An electrolyzer based on the 2D porous Mo2N-CoxN electrodes only needs 1.53 V to reach a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), and can be driven by a solar panel. The strategy is versatile and can be used to prepare other 2D heterojunction catalysts, such as W (V)-Co based catalysts.
