Development of efficient, robust and earth-abundant water oxidation catalysts (WOCs) is extremely desirable for water splitting by electrolysis or photocatalysis. Herein, we report cobalt oxide nanoparticles anchored on the surface of sulfonated graphite (denoted as "CoO <sub><i>x</i></sub> @G-Ph-SN") to exhibit unexpectedly efficient water oxidation activity with a turnover frequency (TOF) of 1.2 s<sup>-1</sup>; two or three orders of magnitude higher than most cobalt-based oxide WOCs reported ...[more]
