Modulating surface charge redistribution based on interface and defect engineering has been considered as a resultful means to boost electrocatalytic activity. However, the mechanism of synergistic regulation of heterojunction and vacancy defects remains unclear. Herein, a Vs-CoP-CoS₂/C n-n heterojunction with sulfur vacancies is successfully constructed, which manifests superior electrocatalytic activity for oxygen evolution, as demonstrated by a low overpotential of 170 mV to reach 10 mA/cm². The experimental results and density functional theory calculations testify that the outstanding OER performance of Vs-CoP-CoS₂/C heterojunction is owed to the synergistic effect of sulfur vacancies and built-in electric field at n-n heterogeneous interface, which accelerates the electron transfer, induces the charge redistribution, and regulates the adsorption energy of active intermediates during the reaction. This study affords a promising means to regulate the electrocatalytic performance by the construction of heterogeneous interfaces and defects, and in-depth explores the synergistic mechanisms of n-n heterojunction and vacancies.
