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. …”

Realizing high and stable electrocatalytic oxygen evolution for iron-based perovskites by co-doping-induced structural and electronic modulation by She, Sixuan, Zhu, Yinlong, Wu, Xinhao, Hu, Zhiwei, Shelke, Abhijeet, Pong, Way-Faung, Chen, Yubo, Song, Yufei, Liang, Mingzhuang, Chen, Chien-Te, Wang, Huanting, Zhou, Wei, Shao, Zongping

“…The increased activity and stability of SCFN can be ascribed to co-doping-induced synergistic promotion between structural and electronic modulation, where Ce doping facilitates the formation of a 3D corner-sharing cubic structure and Ni doping gives rise to strong electronic interactions between active sites, which is key to achieving a highly active long-life catalyst. Importantly, this strategy is universal and can be extended to other Fe-based parent perovskite oxides with high structural diversity.…”
