High-performance and stable electrocatalysts for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) that can work at the same pH condition are in high demand for overall water-splitting systems. Here, we report a partially oxidized Co in situ anchored in a porous nitrogen...
