V4C3TxMXene : a promising active substrate for reactive surface modification and the enhanced electrocatalytic oxygen evolution activity by Du, Cheng‐Feng, Sun, Xiaoli, Yu, Hong, Fang, Wei, Jing, Yao, Wang, Yonghui, Li, Shuiqing, Liu, Xianhu, Yan, Qingyu

“…Presented are the synthesis, characterizations, and reactive surface modification (RSM) of a novel nine atomic layered V4C3T x MXene. With the advantages of the multilayered V4C3T x MXene that can simultaneously support the RSM reaction and keep the inner skeleton stable, a series of amorphous Ni/Fe/V‐ternary oxide hydroxides thin layer can be successfully modified on the surface of the V4C3T x MXene (denoted as MOOH @V4C3T x, M = Ni, Fe, and V) without disrupting its original structure. …”
