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

“…Attributed to the in situ reconstruction of highly active oxide hydroxide layer, the nanohybrids exhibited an enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity and excellent long‐time stability over 70 hours. In particular, a current density of 10 mA cm−2 can be reached by the nanohybrid with the optimized Ni/Fe ratio at an overpotential (η) as low as 275.2 mV, which is comparable to most of the state‐of‐the‐art OER catalysts and better than other MXene‐based derivatives. …”
