description [Image: see text] The fabrication of mixed-metal oxide films holds promise for the development of practical photoelectrochemical catalyst coatings but currently presents challenges in terms of homogeneity, cost, and scalability. We report a straightforward and versatile approach to produce catalytically active zirconium-based films for electrochemical and photoelectrochemical water oxidation. The mixed-metal oxide catalyst films are derived from novel single-source precursor oxide cage compounds containing Zr with first-row transition metals such as Co, Fe, and Cu. The Zr-based film doped with Co on fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO)-coated glass exhibits the highest electrocatalytic O(2) evolution performance in an alkaline medium and an operational stability above 18 h. The deposition of this film onto a BiVO(4) photoanode significantly enhances its photoelectrochemical activity toward solar water oxidation, lowering the onset potential by 0.12–0.21 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE) and improving the maximum photocurrent density by ∼50% to 2.41 mA cm(–2) for the CoZr-coated BiVO(4) photoanodes compared to that for bare BiVO(4).
