Developing active electrocatalysts based on cost-efficient transition metal oxides for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical to renewable energy technology such as water electrolyzers. Here, we report an interfacial coupling and confinement approach to activate CoOx clusters on phosphorized carbon nitride as an efficient and durable OER electrocatalyst. X-ray absorption and theoretical insights demonstrate that a coordinatively unsaturated surface and strong coupling effect tailor the electronic structure of Co active sites with optimized OH- adsorption energy for oxygen evolution. The resulting hybrid delivers high OER activity, reaching 10 mA cm(-2) by applying a low overpotential of 253 mV for continuous operation of 10 h. Moreover, the CoOx clusters exhibit high intrinsic activity, delivering turnover frequencies of 1.69 O-2 s(-1) at an overpotential of 300 mV, which are comparable to those of benchmark OER catalysts.
