It is necessary to adopt a specific strategy to construct an efficient and low-cost transition metal-based composite to replace the precious metal-based electrocatalyst for OER catalytic processes. In this work, a beaded stream-like N and P-codoped carbon-coated Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite (N,P-Fe₃O₄@C) is derived from MIL-88A by two-step annealing. The unique 3D nanostructure and amorphous N-doped carbon layer enlarge the number of active sites, and P doping changes the pathway from AEM to LOM. The synergistic effect of these factors results in N,P-Fe₃O₄@C presenting excellent OER catalytic activity with an overpotential of 201 mV (η₁₀), a Tafel slope of 57.1 mV/dec and stable operation for 100 h (the current density is 10 mA/cm²). Density functional theory calculations and electrochemical tests reveal that the P doping enhances the overlap of Fe 3d orbital bands and O 2p orbitals, and thus significantly increases the metal-oxygen covalency, triggering the pathway transition from AEM to LOM. This work provides a new way to construct more efficient transition metal-based composite carbon materials.
