Black phosphorus/two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic framework (BP@MOF) heterojunctions were synthesized via templated growth of 2D MOF-Fe/Co nanoplatelets on the surface of exfoliated BP nanosheets at room temperature. Because Fe and Co ions were absorbed onto the BP surface through coordination with the lone pair electrons of 2D BP, the BP@MOF heterojunction had an intimate interface with strong interactions. Electrochemical oxygen and hydrogen evolution reactions were studied using BP@MOF as the electrocatalyst. High activity of the overall water splitting in 1.0 M KOH was observed under a current density of 10 mA cm. The corresponding overpotentials for HER and OER were as low as 180 and 246 mV, respectively. Meanwhile, the BP@MOF exhibited good environmental stability and long-term electrocatalytic activity for OER and HER, owing to the encapsulation of BP nanosheets by the 2D MOF-Fe/Co. Through this study, a unique hybrid 2D nanomaterial is discovered for the efficient electrolytic splitting of water.
