The cobalt phosphate-/cobalt borate-based oxygen-evolving catalysts(OECs) are the important class of earth-abundant electrocatalysts that can operate with high activity for water splitting under benign conditions.This article reports the integration of cobalt phosphate(CoPi) and cobalt borate(Co-Bi) OECs with three-dimensional(3D) graphene foam(GF) for the electrocatalytic water oxidation reaction. The GF showed a unique advantage to serve as a highly conductive 3D support with large capacity for anchoring and loading Co-OECs, thereby facilitating mass and charge transfer due to the large amount of active sites provided by the 3D graphene scaffold. As a result, this integrated system of GF and Co-OECs exhibits synergistically enhanced catalytic activity. The overpotential(g) of Co-Pi and Co-Bi/graphene catalysts is about 0.390 and0.315 V in neutral solutions, respectively. Besides, the integrated Co-OECs/graphene catalysts have also exhibited improved and stable oxygen evolution catalytic ability in alkaline solution.
