Abstract
Regulating the interfacial charge transfer behavior between cocatalysts and semiconductors remains a critical challenge for attaining efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation reactions. Herein, using bismuth vanadate (BiVO4 ) photoanode as a model, it introduces an Au binding bridge as holes transfer channels onto the surfaces of BiVO4 , and the cyano-functionalized cobalt cubane (Co4 O4 ) molecules are preferentially immobilized on the Au bridge due to the strong adsorption of cyano groups with Au nanoparticles. This orchestrated arrangement facilitates the seamless transfer of photogenerated holes from BiVO4 to Co4 O4 molecules, forming an orderly charge transfer pathway connecting the light-absorbing layer to reactive sites. An exciting photocurrent density of 5.06 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V versus the reversible hydrogen electrode (3.4 times that of BiVO4 ) is obtained by the Co4 O4 @Au(A)/BiVO4 photoanode, where the surface charge recombination is almost completely suppressed accompanied by a surface charge transfer efficiency over 95%. This work represents a promising strategy for accelerating interfacial charge transfer and achieving efficient photoelectrochemical water oxidation reaction.

Abstract
Thin films of cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymers bearing different substituents are prepared by oxidative chemical vapor deposition (oCVD) and investigated as heterogeneous electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Interestingly, the electrocatalytic activity originates from polymer-derived, highly transparent Co(Fe)Ox species formed under operational alkaline conditions. Structural, compositional, electrical, and electrochemical characterizations reveal that the newly formed active catalyst greatly benefited from both the polymeric conformation of the porphyrin-based thin film and the inclusion of the iron-based species originating from the oCVD reaction. High-resolution mass spectrometry analyses combined with density functional theory (DFT) calculations showed that a close relationship exists between the porphyrin substituent, the extension of the π-conjugated system cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymer, and the dynamics of the polymer conversion leading to catalytically active Co(Fe)Ox species. This work evidences the precatalytic role of cobalt porphyrin conjugated polymers and uncovers the benefit of extended π-conjugation of the molecular matrix and iron inclusion on the formation and performance of the true active catalyst.

Abstract
Integrating inorganic oxygen evolution cocatalysts (OECs) with photoanodes is regarded as an available strategy to increase the photogenerated charge utilization for accelerated water oxidation kinetics. Nevertheless, most widely used transition metal (oxyhydr)oxides OECs suffer from inevitable charge recombination at photoanode/OECs interfaces and underabundant catalytic active sites. Herein, a cobalt-organic complex with microflower-like features (denoted as MF) was constructed by coordination of Schiff base ligands and Co2+ metal ions and then decorated on porous BiVO4 employed as photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. The as-synthesized BiVO4/MF photoanode achieves a photocurrent density of 4.38 mA cm-2 and at 1.23 VRHE in 0.5 M Na2SO4 electrolyte under simulated 1 sun illumination, over approximately 5.48 times larger than that of BiVO4 counterpart, and exhibits a 120 mV cathodic shift of onset potential with outstanding photostability. Systematic characterizations reveal that the improved PEC efficiency is mainly attributed to the well-designed coordinatively unsaturated Co2+ sites, which not only serve as powerful photohole extraction engines along reversed interfacial Co-O-Bi bonds to promote charge transfer across the BiVO4/complex interface but also act as reaction active centers by accelerating surface water oxidation kinetics. This work provides new insights for designing highly effective OECs for PEC water oxidation.

Abstract
Metalloporphyrin-containing mesoporous materials, named VTPP@SBA, were prepared via a simple anchoring of vanadyl porphyrin (5,10,15,20-Tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphine vanadium(IV) oxide) through a SBA-15-type mesoporous material. For comparison, vanadyl porphyrin was also impregnated on SiO2 (VTPP/SiO2). The characterization results of catalysts by XRD, FTIR, DR-UV-vis, and EPR confirm the incorporation of vanadyl porphyrin within the mesoporous SBA-15. These catalysts have also been studied using electrochemical and photoelectrochemical methods. Impedance measurements confirmed that supporting the porphyrin in silica improved the electrical conductivity of samples. In fact, when using mesoporous silica, current densities associated with oxidation/reduction processes appreciably increased, implying an enhancement in charge transfer processes and, therefore, in electrochemical performance. All samples presented n-type semiconductivity and provided an interesting photoelectrocatalytic response upon illumination, especially silica-supported porphyrins. This is the first time that V-porphyrin-derived materials have been tested for photoelectrochemical applications, showing good potential for this use.

Abstract
Triplet–triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is a very promising technology that could be used to convert low-energy photons to high-energy ones and has been proven to be of great value in various areas. Porphyrins have the characteristics of high molar absorbance, can form a complex with different metal ions and a high proportion of triplet states as well as tunable structures, and thus they are important sensitizers for TTA-UC. Porphyrin-based TTA-UC plays a pivotal role in the TTA-UC systems and has been widely used in many fields such as solar cells, sensing and circularly polarized luminescence. In recent years, applications of porphyrin-based TTA-UC systems for photoinduced reactions have emerged, but have been paid little attention. As a consequence, this review paid close attention to the recent advances in the photoreactions triggered by porphyrin-based TTA-UC systems. First of all, the photochemistry of porphyrin-based TTA-UC for chemical transformations, such as photoisomerization, photocatalytic synthesis, photopolymerization, photodegradation and photochemical/photoelectrochemical water splitting, was discussed in detail, which revealed the different mechanisms of TTA-UC and methods with which to carry out reasonable molecular innovations and nanoarchitectonics to solve the existing problems in practical application. Subsequently, photoreactions driven by porphyrin-based TTA-UC for biomedical applications were demonstrated. Finally, the future developments of porphyrin-based TTA-UC systems for photoreactions were briefly discussed.

Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) plays a pivotal role in the development of renewable energy methods, such as water-splitting devices and the use of Zn–air batteries. First-row transition metal complexes are promising catalyst candidates due to their excellent electrocatalytic performance, rich abundance, and cheap price. Metalloporphyrins are a class of representative high-efficiency complex catalysts owing to their structural and functional characteristics. However, OER based on porphyrin systems previously have been paid little attention in comparison to the well-described oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), hydrogen evolution reaction, and CO2 reduction reaction. Recently, porphyrin-based systems, including both small molecules and porous polymers for electrochemical OER, are emerging. Accordingly, this review summarizes the recent advances of porphyrin-based systems for electrochemical OER. Firstly, the electrochemical OER for water oxidation is discussed, which shows various methodologies to achieve catalysis from homogeneous to heterogeneous processes. Subsequently, the porphyrin-based catalytic systems for bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis including both OER and ORR are demonstrated. Finally, the future development of porphyrin-based catalytic systems for electrochemical OER is briefly prospected.

Abstract
Water oxidation is still one of the most important challenges to develop efficient artificial photosynthetic devices. In recent decades, the development and study of molecular complexes for water oxidation have allowed insight into the principles governing catalytic activity and the mechanism as well as establish ligand design guidelines to improve performance. However, their durability and long-term stability compromise the performance of molecular-based artificial photosynthetic devices. In this context, heterogenization of molecular water oxidation catalysts on electrode surfaces has emerged as a promising approach for efficient long-lasting water oxidation for artificial photosynthetic devices. This review covers the state of the art of strategies for the heterogenization of molecular water oxidation catalysts onto electrodes for (photo)electrochemical water oxidation. An overview and description of the main binding strategies are provided explaining the advantages of each strategy and their scope. Moreover, selected examples are discussed together with the the differences in activity and stability between the homogeneous and the heterogenized system when reported. Finally, the common design principles for efficient (photo)electrocatalytic performance summarized.

Abstract
Nowadays, materials with great potential for environmental protection are being sought. Metal–organic frameworks, in particular those with cobalt species as active sites, have drawn considerable interest due to their excellent properties. This review focuses on describing cobalt-based MOFs in the context of light-triggered processes, including dye degradation, water oxidation and splitting, carbon dioxide reduction, in addition to the oxidation of organic compounds. With the use of Co-based MOFs (e.g., ZIF-67, Co-MOF-74) as photocatalysts in these reactions, even over 90% degradation efficiencies of various dyes (e.g., methylene blue) can be achieved. Co-based MOFs also show high TOF/TON values in water splitting processes and CO2-to-CO conversion. Additionally, the majority of alcohols may be converted to aldehydes with efficiencies exceeding 90% and high selectivity. Since Co-based MOFs are effective photocatalysts, they can be applied in the elimination of toxic contaminants that endanger the environment.

Abstract
Here, we report the immobilization of Co-protoporphyrin IX (Co-PPIX) substituted cytochrome c (Co-cyt c) on Antimony-doped Tin Oxide (ATO) as a catalyst for photoelectrochemical oxidation of water. Under visible light irradiation (λ > 450 nm), the ATO-Co-cyt c photoanode displays ~6-fold enhancement in photocurrent density relative to ATO-Co-PPIX at 0.25 V vs. RHE at pH 5.0. The light-induced water oxidation activity of the system was demonstrated by detecting evolved stoichiometric oxygen by gas chromatography, and incident photon to current efficiency was measured as 4.1% at 450 nm. The faradaic efficiency for the generated oxygen was 97%, with a 671 turnover number (TON) for oxygen. The current density had a slow decay over the course of 6 h of constant irradiation and applied potential, which exhibits the robustness of catalyst-ATO interaction.

Abstract
Cobalt porphyrins have emerged as promising catalysts for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical applications because of their good performance, low cost and the abundance of cobalt in the earth. Herein, a negatively charged porphyrin meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphin (TPPS) was immobilized in polypyrrole (PPy) during the electro-polymerization, and then it was metallized with cobalt to obtain meso-tetra-(4-sulfonatophenyl)-porphyrinato cobalt (II) (CoTPPS) as a dopant in PPy. The coatings were evaluated as photoelectrodes towards thiosulfate oxidation and oxygen reduction. For comparison purposes, the photoelectrochemical behavior of ClO4−-doped polypyrrole films was also evaluated. Characterizations by chronoamperometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy showed that polypyrrole is stable under anodic and cathodic conditions, but CoTPPS and TPPS immobilized in PPy are degraded during the anodic process. Thus, decreases in photocurrent of up to 87% and 97% for CoTPPS-doped PPy and TPPS-doped PPy were observed after a 30-min chronoamperometry test. On the other hand, good stability of CoTPPS and TPPS immobilized in PPy was observed during photoelectrochemical oxygen reduction, which was reflected in almost constant photocurrents obtained by chronoamperometry. These findings are relevant to understanding the role of CoTPPS as a catalyst or pre-catalyst in photoelectrochemical applications such as water splitting. In addition, these results could pave the way for further research to include CoTPPS-doped PPy in the design of novel photocathodes.

Abstract
Bioinspired transformation of small-molecules to energy-related feedstocks is an attractive research area to overcome both the environmental issues and the depletion of fossil fuels. The highly effective metalloenzymes in nature provide blueprints for the utilization of bioinspired metal complexes for artificial photosynthesis. Through simpler structural and functional mimics, the representative herein is the pivotal development of several critical small molecule conversions catalyzed by metal complexes, e.g., water oxidation, proton and CO2 reduction and organic chemical transformation of small molecules. Of great achievement is the establishment of bioinspired metal complexes as catalysts with high stability, specific selectivity and satisfactory efficiency to drive the multiple-electron and multiple-proton processes related to small molecule transformation. Also, potential opportunities and challenges for future development in these appealing areas are highlighted.

Abstract
The development of efficient water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is of key importance in order to drive sustainable reductive processes aimed at producing renewable fuels. Herein, two novel dinuclear complexes, [(Cp*Ir)2(μ-κ3-O,N,O-H4-EDTMP)] (Ir-H4-EDTMP, H4-EDTMP4- = ethylenediamine tetra(methylene phosphonate)) and [(Cp*Ir)2(μ-κ3-O,N,O-EDTA)] (Ir-EDTA, EDTA4- = ethylenediaminetetraacetate), were synthesized and completely characterized in solution, by multinuclear and multidimensional NMR spectroscopy, and in the solid state, by single crystal X-Ray diffraction. They were supported onto rutile TiO2 nanocrystals obtaining Ir-H4-EDTMP@TiO2 and Ir-EDTA@TiO2 hybrid materials. Both molecular complexes and hybrid materials were found to be efficient catalysts for WO driven by NaIO4, providing almost quantitative yields, and TON values only limited by the amount of NaIO4 used. As for the molecular catalysts, Ir-H4-EDTMP (TOF up to 184 min-1) exhibited much higher activity than Ir-EDTA (TOF up to 19 min-1), likely owing to the higher propensity of the former to generate a coordination vacancy through the dissociation of a Ir-OP bond (2.123 Å, significantly longer than Ir-OC, 2.0913 Å), which is a necessary step to activate these saturated complexes. Ir-H4-EDTMP@TiO2 (up to 33 min-1) and Ir-EDTA@TiO2 (up to 41 min-1) hybrid materials showed similar activity that was only marginally reduced in the second and third catalytic runs carried out after having separated the supernatant, which did not show any sign of activity, instead. The observed TOF values for hybrid materials are higher than those reported for analogous systems deriving from heterogenized mononuclear complexes. This suggests that supporting dinuclear molecular precursors could be a successful strategy to obtain efficient heterogenized water oxidation catalysts.

Abstract
Low-cost, nonprecious transition metal (TM) catalysts toward efficient water oxidation are of critical importance to future sustainable energy technologies. The advances in structure engineering of water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) with single TM centers as active sites, for example, single metallic molecular complexes (SMMCs), supported SMMCs, and single-atom catalysts (SACs) in recent reports are examined. The efforts made on these configurations in terms of design principle, advanced characterization, performances and theoretical studies, are critically reviewed. A clear roadmap with the correlations between the single-TM-site-based structures (coordination and geometric structure, TM species, support), and the catalytic performances in water oxidation is provided. The insights bridging SMMCs with SACs are also given. Finally, the challenges and opportunities in the single-TM-site catalysis are proposed.

Abstract
Molecular catalysis plays an essential role in both natural and artificial photosynthesis (AP). However, the field of molecular catalysis for AP has gradually declined in recent years because of doubt about the long-term stability of molecular-catalyst-based devices. This review summarizes the development history of molecular-catalyst-based AP, including the fundamentals of AP, molecular catalysts for water oxidation, proton reduction and CO2 reduction, and molecular-catalyst-based AP devices, and it provides an analysis of the advantages, challenges, and stability of molecular catalysts. With this review, we aim to highlight the following points: (i) an investigation on molecular catalysis is one of the most promising ways to obtain atom-efficient catalysts with outstanding intrinsic activities; (ii) effective heterogenization of molecular catalysts is currently the primary challenge for the application of molecular catalysis in AP devices; (iii) development of molecular catalysts is a promising way to solve the problems of catalysis involved in practical solar fuel production. In molecular-catalysis-based AP, much has been attained, but more challenges remain with regard to long-term stability and heterogenization techniques.

Abstract
A Ru(II)-Re(I) supramolecular photocatalyst and a Ru(II) redox photosensitizer were both deposited successfully on a NiO electrode by using methyl phosphonic acid anchoring groups and the electrochemical polymerization of the ligand vinyl groups of the complexes. This new molecular photocathode, poly-RuRe/NiO, adsorbed a larger amount of the metal complexes compared to one using only methyl phosphonic acid anchor groups, and the stability of the complexes on the NiO electrode were much improved. The poly-RuRe/NiO acted as a photocathode for the photocatalytic reduction of CO2 at E = -0.7 V vs Ag/AgCl under visible-light irradiation in an aqueous solution. The poly-RuRe/NiO produced approximately 2.5 times more CO, and its total Faradaic efficiency of the reduction products improved from 57 to 85%.

Photo-electrochemical water splitting represents a green and environmentally friendly method for producing solar hydrogen. Semiconductor nanomaterials with a highly accessible surface area, reduced charge migration distance, and tunable optical and electronic property are regarded as promising electrode materials to carry out this solar-to-hydrogen process. Since most of the photo-electrochemical reactions take place on the electrode surface or near-surface region, rational engineering of the surface structures, physical properties, and chemical nature of photoelectrode materials could fundamentally change their performance. Here, the recent advances in surface engineering methods, including the modification of the nanomaterial surface morphology, crystal facet, defect and doping concentrations, as well as the deposition of a functional overlayer of sensitizers, plasmonic metallic structures, and protective and catalytic materials are highlighted. Each surface engineering method and how it affects the structural features and photo-electrochemical performance of nanomaterials are reviewed and compared. Finally, the current challenges and the opportunities in the field are discussed.

Abstract
A WO3 /TiO2 heterojunction photoanode was prepared by in situ growth of WO3 on a mesoporous TiO2 electrode. The photoinduced charge-transfer properties and chargeseparation improvement in this kind of type-II heterojunction were characterized by transient surface photovoltage spectra. By using sulfite oxidation as a hole scavenger, we demonstrated that 72 % of the photo-generated holes are reaching the surface of the photoanode, but the efficiency of hole injection (ηox ) into the electrolyte was only 48 %. For the first time, a NiII meso-tetra(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (NiTCPP) was incorporated as a water oxidation catalyst into the WO3 /TiO2 heterojunction photoanode, which promoted the value of ηox to 81 %. The maximum applied bias photon-to-current efficiency for the WO3 /TiO2 /NiTCPP photoanode was determined to be 0.2 % at 1.01 V vs. the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), under which condition a Faradic efficiency of 89 % for water oxidation was achieved (averaged over 1 h of photolysis).

Abstract
The increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally benign energy has stimulated intense research to establish highly efficient photo-electrochemical (PEC) cells for direct solar-to-fuel conversion via water splitting. Light absorption, as the initial step of the catalytic process, is regarded as the foundation of establishing highly efficient PEC systems. To make full use of visible light, sensitization on photoelectrodes using either molecular dyes or semiconducting quantum dots provides a promising method. In this field, however, there remain many fundamental issues to be solved, which need in-depth study. Here, fundamental knowledge of PEC systems is introduced to enable readers a better understanding of this field. Then, the development history and current state in both molecular dye- and quantum dot-sensitized photocathodes for PEC water splitting are discussed. A systematical comparison between the two systems has been made. Special emphasis is placed on the research of quantum dot-sensitized photocathodes, which have shown superiority in both efficiency and durability towards PEC water splitting at the present stage. Finally, the opportunities and challenges in the future for sensitized PEC water-splitting systems are proposed.

Abstract
Many experimental results reveal different activities among different low-index surfaces of photocatalysts. The current investigation focuses on the theoretical understanding of the electronic characteristics, surface activity, and stability of different low-index surfaces of BiVO4 toward water splitting using first-principle calculations. The results indicate that BiVO4 has four types of low-index surfaces, namely, (010)T1, (010)T2, (110)T1, and (1̅11)T1. The different band edge potentials of the surfaces, resulting from the variation of the electrostatic potential, lead to a higher oxidation ability for (010)T1 and (010)T2 than for (110)T1 and (1̅11)T1 surfaces. The electrons prefer to accumulate on (010)T1 and (010)T2 surfaces, whereas holes like to accumulate on (110)T1 and (1̅11)T1 surfaces during a photocatalytic process. Moreover, investigation on the adsorbed intermediates during the water-splitting process indicates that the oxygen evolution reaction on BiVO4 surfaces is mainly dominated by the reaction OH* ↔ O* + H+ + e-, and (110)T1 and (1̅11)T1 surfaces are energetically more favorable as photoanodes for water splitting than (010)T1 and (010)T2. Furthermore, the BiVO4 surface as photoanodes tend to be unstable and can easily be corroded with or without the presence of an oxidative environment, however, there is an exception for the BiVO4 (010)T1 and (010)T2 surfaces, which are thermodynamically stable in the solution when there are no strong oxidative species. These results provide important insights into the anisotropy behaviors among low-index surfaces of BiVO4 for photocatalytic reactions.

Abstract
A novel mesoporous nanosheet networked hybrid comprising Co3 O4 and Co3 (PO4 )2 is successfully synthesized using a facile and scalable method through calcinating the carbon, cobalt hydroxy carbonate, and cobalt phosphate composite precursor. Electron transfer from Co3 O4 to Co3 (PO4 )2 , together with the special networked structure and the porous nature of the nanosheets enable the Co3 (PO4 )2 -Co3 O4 hybrid to have a high oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and outstanding stability in alkaline electrolyte, e.g., an overpotential of 270 mV at current density of 10 mA cm-2 , and a Tafel slope of 39 mV dec-1 , which are superior to most non-noble metal-based OER electrocatalysts reported thus far and as well the commercial RuO2 electrocatalyst. Furthermore, Co3 (PO4 )2 -Co3 O4 hybrid is demonstrated to be used as an efficient cocatalyst to enhance the photoelectrochemical OER performance of BiVO4 photoanode. A significantly increased photocurrent density of 3.0 mA cm-2 at 1.23 V (vs reversible hydrogen electrode, RHE), and a potential reduction of 530 mV with respect to that of bare BiVO4 at the photocurrent density of 0.5 mA cm-2 are achieved. The electron transfer-induced enhancement of OER by a hybrid structure may pave the new routes for the design and synthesis of low-cost catalysts for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical oxygen evolution.

Abstract
Hydrogen generation from water splitting could be an alternative way to meet increasing energy demands while also balancing the impact of energy being supplied by fossil-based fuels. The efficacy of water splitting strongly depends on the performance of electrocatalysts. Herein, we report a unique space-confined earth-abundant electrocatalyst having the bifunctionality of simultaneous hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER), leading to high-efficiency water splitting. Outperforming Pt/C or RuO2 catalysts, this mesoscopic, space-confined, bifunctional configuration is constructed from a monolithic zeolitic imidazolate framework@layered double hydroxide (ZIF@LDH) precursor on Ni foam. Such a confinement leads to a high dispersion of ultrafine Co3O4 nanoparticles within the N-doped carbon matrix by temperature-dependent calcination of the ZIF@LDH. We demonstrate that the OER has an overpotential of 318 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, while that of HER is -106 mV @ -10 mA cm-2. The voltage applied to a two-electrode cell for overall water splitting is 1.59 V to achieve a stable current density of 10 mA cm-2 while using the monolithic catalyst as both the anode and the cathode. It is anticipated that our space-confined method, which focuses on earth-abundant elements with structural integrity, may provide a novel and economically sound strategy for practical energy conversion applications.

Abstract
The rational design of active photoanodes for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting is crucial for future applications in sustainable energy conversion. A combination of catalysts with photoelectrodes is generally required to improve surface kinetics and suppress surface recombination. In this study, we present WO3 photoanode modified with the iridium complex [(H4 dphbpy)IrIII (Cp*)Cl]Cl (Ir-PO3 H2 ; H4 dphbpy=2,2'-bipyridine-4,4'-bisphosphonic acid, Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadiene (WO3 +Ir-PO3 H2 )- for PEC water oxidation. When Ir-PO3 H2 is anchored to a WO3 electrode, the photoanode shows a significant improvement in both photocurrent and faradaic efficiency compared to the bare WO3 photoanode. Under simulated sunlight illumination (AM 1.5G, 100 mW cm-2 ) with an applied bias of 1.23 V (vs. reversible hydrogen electrode), the photoanode exhibits a photocurrent of 1.16 mA cm-2 in acidic conditions, which is double that of the bare WO3 photoanode. The faradaic efficiency is promoted from 56 % to 95 %. Kinetic studies reveal that Ir-PO3 H2 exhibits a different interfacial charge-transfer mechanism on the WO3 photoanode for PEC water oxidation compared to iridium oxide. Ir-PO3 H2 , as a water-oxidation catalyst, can accelerate the surface charge transfer through rapid surface kinetics.

Abstract
A general and simple route to fabricate graphdiyne nanowalls on arbitrary substrates is developed by using a copper envelope catalysis strategy. The GDY/BiVO4 system is but one example of combing the unique properites of GDY with those target substrates where GDY improves the photoelectrochemical performance dramatically.

Abstract
The decoration of (photo)electrodes for efficient photoresponse requires the use of electrocatalysts with good dispersion and high transparency for efficient light absorption by the photoelectrode. As a result of the ease of thermal evaporation and particulate self-assembly growth, the phthalocyanine molecular species can be uniformly deposited layer-by-layer on the surface of substrates. This structure can be used as a template to achieve a tunable amount of catalysts, high dispersion of the nanoparticles, and transparency of the catalysts. In this study, we present a systematic study of the structural and optical properties, surface morphologies, and electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of cobalt oxide prepared from a phthalocyanine metal precursor. Cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) films with different thicknesses were deposited by thermal evaporation on different substrates. The films were annealed at 400 °C in air to form a material with the cobalt oxide phase. The final Co oxide catalysts exhibit high transparency after thermal treatment. Their OER measurements demonstrate well expected mass activity for OER. Thermally evaporated and treated transition metal oxide nanoparticles are attractive for the functionalization of (photo)anodes for water oxidation.
