Porous and graphene-type honeycomb-like structured N-doped and Co-Mn incorporated carbon materials derived from Bombyx mori silk cocoons were synthesized via one-step thermal carbonization and graphitization process. Due to the high specific surface area of honeycomb-like structure, the exposed Co-Mn active sites and the pyridine-N and graphitic-N, the prepared 3% Co-Mn/silk cocoon carbon materials (3% Co-Mn/SCC) exhibits good hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance with a low onset potential of 121 mV, a low overpotential of 155 mV at 10 mA·cm^-2 and a Tafel slope of 130 mV·dec^-1 as well as a long-term stability in acidic electrolyte. Meanwhile, the 2% Co-Mn/SCC also shows great oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in 1 mol·L^-1 KOH with the lowest onset potential 1.5 mV and a Tafel slope of 143 mV·dec^-1. This result demonstrates that MCo-Mn/SCC (M is the mass fraction of Co and Mn) possess both HER and OER catalytic activity and can act as a bifunctional catalyst for water electrolysis.
