The efficient mass transport and enhanced accessibility of active sites are crucial for high-performance electrocatalysts in water splitting. Inspired by the hierarchical structure natural wood, we engineered a monolithic electrocatalyst, cobalt nanoparticles encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon layers on carbonized wood (Co@NC/CW), carbonizing to create three-dimensional framework with vertically aligned macropores. unique architecture encapsulates within situ-grown graphene wood-derived microchannels, facilitating ultrafast electrolyte infusion anisotropic electron transport. As result, optimized freestanding Co@NC/CW electrode exhibits remarkable bifunctional activity, achieving overpotentials 403 mV 227 oxygen evolution reaction (OER) hydrogen (HER), respectively, at current density 50 mA cm−2. Furthermore, integrated hybrid electrolyzer combining HER OER delivers an impressive A cm−2 cell voltage 1.72 V while maintaining Faradaic efficiency near 99.5% sustaining long-term stability over 120 h continuous operation. also demonstrates performance complete decomposition alkaline seawater, underscoring its potential scalable applications. This catalyst design not only leverages porosity but offers sustainable platform advanced electrochemical systems.

Abstract Hydrogen has been deemed as the ideal energy source and carrier due to its unmatched efficiency sustainability. Nevertheless, there is a pressing need develop cost‐effective materials replace costly Pt in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), electrocatalysts with low overpotential robust stability under various conditions particularly significant concern. In this study, straightforward effective approach was proposed for precise synthesis of RuP 2 nanoparticles encapsulated N, P, S‐tridoped carbon, which involves utilizing zinc pyrithione, phytic acid Ru salt starting materials. The effect different loadings on morphology structures composite catalysts examined carefully. obtained composites exhibit superior alkaline activity surpassing commercial Pt/C comparable acidic neutral well excellent pH‐wide stability. DFT computations reveal integration tridoped carbon can tailor electronic structure active sites by interfacial electron transfer, thus optimizing adsorption promoting HER activity. benign graphitization doped porous ensure smooth charge mass transfer during process. methods presented work offer promising alternative practical hydrogen‐related applications.
