Water electrolysis is considered to be an effective and promising technology to make high-purity H₂, however, the relationship between anion species and catalytic performance of electrocatalysts is still not completely clear. Herein, we report an anion engineering strategy to tune electrocatalytic water oxidation activity for Co-based materials. Novel hierarchical Co-based oxide/selenide/phosphide (Co-A, A = O, Se, P) hexagrams have been chosen as model materials. Electrochemical results and theoretical calculations reveal that the electron configuration, the electrical conductivity, and the oxidation potential of Co element in Co-A hexagrams could be moderated by the substitution of P atoms, which leads to the superior OER performance. Particularly, Co-P hexagram displays a low overpotential (η = 269 mV) at j = 10 mA/cm² for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) compared to Co-O hexagram (η = 399 mV) and Co-Se hexagram (η = 347 mV). This work is of great importance in understanding coordination atoms (O, Se and P) induced electrocatalytic properties of hierarchical Co-based materials.
