Abstract Designing an effective and stable composite photocatalyst is of significance for the further realization of practical applications. In this study, a series of CoP/CoO composites are successfully prepared by a straight one-step phosphating method. The reasonable design and controllable preparation of CoP/CoO composite make it exhibit improved photocatalytic performance for overall water splitting and excellent stability under visible light irradiation in comparison with pure CoO, which is derived from the CoP nanoparticles well dispersed on the (111) facets of CoO octahedrons, intimate interface between them and efficiently accelerated of photo-induced electrons from CoO to CoP. This study presents a simple method to design highly-effective composite photocatalysts for overall water splitting to meet the energy demand.
