Abstract The oxidation reaction of sulfide ions holds significant potential for replacing kinetically sluggish water oxidation, substantially reducing power consumption of hydrogen production by electrocatalytic water splitting. Herein, a hierarchical MoS 2 /Co 8 FeS 8 bifunctional sulfion‐tolerant electrocatalyst on nickel foam (MoS 2 /Co 8 FeS 8 /Ni 3 S 2 /NF) is constructed for the oxidation of water, urea, and S 2− . Benefiting from the engineered p‐p/Schottky dual heterojunctions and its porous structure, the MoS 2 /Co 8 FeS 8 /Ni 3 S 2 /NF material possesses the optimized electronic structure at interface between the MoS 2 and Co 8 FeS 8 ,, thus presenting excellent electrocatalytic performance including hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), urea oxidation reaction and sulfion oxidation reaction (SOR). The formed heterojunction between MoS 2 and Co 8 FeS 8 leads to the clear observation of electron transfer from Co 8 FeS 8 to MoS 2 . The MoS 2 /Co 8 FeS 8 /Ni 3 S 2 /NF material as anode and cathode exhibits an ultralow voltage of 0.477 V at 100 mA cm −2 in sulfion‐assisted two‐electrode water splitting cell with superior energy efficiency being of merely 1.147 kWh m −3 H 2 energy consumption, which represents over 60% energy saving compared to conventional water splitting system. What's more, this kind of water splitting cell owns a superior stability in the continuous 200 h operation. UV–vis spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction patterns reveal the gradual oxidation of S 2− ...
