Abstract
The strategy of dual doping with V and S was adopted to optimise the electronic environment of Co3O4 and induce surface reconstruction. V doping facilitated charge transfer during the reconstruction process by utilising vacant electron orbitals. S doping promoted the generation of Co3+ active sites, creating the necessary condition for surface reconstruction. After reconstruction, CoOOH active phase was generated on the surface of V, S dual doped Co3O4 (V, S-Co3O4), and the obtained CoOOH/V, S-Co3O4 exhibited a low overpotential of 35 mV for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER).
