description Transition metal sulphide electrocatalytic materials possess the bright overall water-splitting performance of practical electrocatalytic technologies. In this study, an amethyst-like MoS<sub>2</sub>@Ni<sub>9</sub>S<sub>8</sub>/Co<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub> rod electrocatalyst was constructed via a one-step hydrothermal method with in-situ-grown ZIF-67 nanoparticles on nickel foam (NF) as a precursor. The rational design and synthesis of MoS<sub>2</sub>@Ni<sub>9</sub>S<sub>8</sub>/Co<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub> endow the catalyst with neat nanorods morphology and high conductivity. The MoS<sub>2</sub>@Ni<sub>9</sub>S<sub>8</sub>/Co<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub>/NF with the amethyst-like rod structure exposes abundant active sites and displays fast electron-transfer capability. The resultant MoS<sub>2</sub>@Ni<sub>9</sub>S<sub>8</sub>/Co<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub>/NF exhibits outstanding hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalytic activities, with low overpotentials of 81.24 mV (HER) at 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> and 159.67 mV (OER) at 50 mA cm<sup>−2</sup> in 1.0 M KOH solution. The full-cell voltage of overall water splitting only achieves 1.45 V at 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>. The successful preparation of the amethyst-like MoS<sub>2</sub>@Ni<sub>9</sub>S<sub>8</sub>/Co<sub>3</sub>S<sub>4</sub> rod electrocatalyst provides a reliable reference for obtaining efficient electrocatalysts for overall water splitting.
