Developing high-performance, low-cost, and robust bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting is extremely indispensable and challenging. It is a promising strategy to couple highly active precious metals with transition metals as efficient electrocatalysts, which can not only effectively reduce the

Cobalt sulfide/sulfur doped carbon composites (Co9 S8 /S-C) were synthesized by calcining a rationally designed sulfur-containing cobalt coordination complex in an inert atmosphere. From the detailed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analyses, the electrocatalytically active Co9
