Using sodium phytate (PA) as a ligand precursor, boron-doped iron-cobalt phytate materials (B-FeCoPA) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method. Boron incorporation into FeCoPA effectively modulates the local bonding environment and electronic structure through synergistic B-Fe-Co interactions, thereby facilitating electron transfer and enhancing the electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The optimized B-FeCoPA exhibited an outstanding OER catalytic activity in alkaline electrolyte, achieving low overpotentials of 299 mV at 10 mA·cm-2 and 354 mV at 100 mA·cm-2, a small Tafel slope of 46 mV·dec-1, and a high Faradaic efficiency of 96%. Moreover, B-FeCoPA demonstrated good operational stability, maintaining a stable potential of approximately 1.52 V (vs RHE) at 10 mA·cm-2 over a 10-h continuous test in 1.0 mol·L-1 KOH.
