Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) have been considered as two critical processes in the field of electrocatalytic water-splitting for hydrogen production and fuel cells. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics of HER and ORR required efficient electrocatalyst such as Pt to promote such process. Transition metal phosphides (TMPs) exhibit great potential to replace noble metal electrocatalysts to accelerate HER and ORR due to their high activity and easy availability. Herein, a highly-efficient bifunctional CoP electrocatalyst for HER and ORR, featuring a unique core-shell structure decorated on nitrogen-doped carbon matrix was designed and constructed via etching a cobalt-based zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) with phytic acid (PA) followed by pyrolysis treatment (PA-ZIF-67–900). Experimental results revealed that the pure-phase single-crystalline CoP exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic performance in HER and ORR, superior to Co(PO₃)₂ in PA-ZIF-67–700, hybrid phase of Co(PO₃)₂ and CoP in PA-ZIF-67–800 and Co₂P-doped CoP in PA-ZIF-67–1000. To reach the current density of 10 mA/cm² the as-synthesized CoP required an overpotential of 120 mV for HER in 1 mol/L KOH and half-wave potential of 0.85 V in O₂-saturated 0.1 mol/L KOH. This work present new clue for construction of efficient and bifunctional electrocatalyst in the field of energy conversion and storage
