Bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) is one of the most promising photoanode materials for converting solar energy into hydrogen energy (STH). However, the practical application of BiVO₄ is severely hindered by the intrinsically severe electron-hole recombination. Here, we reported bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄) photoanode decorated with binary zinc-cobalt LDHs (ZnCo-LDH) co-catalyst by one-step electrodeposition method, which greatly enhances light absorption capacities of bismuth vanadate (BiVO₄), accelerates water oxidation kinetics, facilitates efficient hole transfer to the surface and reduces the surface charge recombination. The hybrid photoanode exhibited a high photocurrent density of 2.85 mA·cm^-2 at 1.23 V(vs RHE), which corresponds to a 259% increase compared to that of the pristine BiVO₄ photoanode. Furthermore, the onset potential (V_on) has greatly decreased from 930 to 270 mV, which displays that OER kinetics is improved upon the deposition of ZnCo-LDH. In addition, the BiVO₄/ZnCo-LDH composite photoanode showed a high surface charge separation efficiency of 65%, which is 2.17 times that of BiVO₄.
