Pyrazine was adopted as axial coordination agent for the first time to construct core–shell BiVO4@metal polyphthalocyanine photoanode. The axial coordination of pyrazine facilitated the carrier transfer across the BiVO4 and metal phthalocyanine interface and endowed ZnCoFe polyphthalocyanine with lower Fe d band center and orbital spin, which improved the OER activity by promoting the *OOH desorption.
Abstract
Core-shell photoanodes have shown great potential for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water oxidation. However, the construction of a high-quality interface between the core and shell, as well as a highly catalytic surface, remains a challenge. Herein, guided by computation, we present a BiVO4 photoanode coated with ZnCoFe polyphthalocyanine using pyrazine as a coordination agent. The bidirectional axial coordination of pyrazine plays a dual role by facilitating intimate interfacial contact between BiVO4 and ZnCoFe polyphthalocyanine, as well as regulating the electron density and spin configuration of metal sites in ZnCoFe phthalocyanine, thereby promoting the potential-limiting step of *OOH desorption. The resulting photoanode displayed a high photocurrent density of 5.7±0.1 mA cm−2 at 1.23 VRHE. This study introduces a new approach for constructing core–shell photoanodes, and uncovers the key role of pyrazine axial coordination in modulating the catalytic activity of metal phthalocyanine.
