Dual-metal hydroxide@oxide heterojunction catalyst constructed via corrosion engineering for large-current oxygen evolution reaction by Li, Zhong, Zhang, Xinglin, Zhang, Zheye, Chen, Peng, Zhang, Yizhou, Dong, Xiaochen

“…Theoretical calculations reveal that such good performance is attributable to electron transfer from NiCo-OH to NixFeyO4 which weakens the adsorption energy of reaction intermediate (OOH*) to promote the release of O2 and lowers the free energy barriers for the reaction. Furthermore, a water splitting cell with NiCo-OH@NixFeyO4/FF as anode and CoP@FeP/FF as cathode demonstrates its potential for industrial application. …”
