Developing highly active electrocatalysts with low cost and high efficiency for oxygen evolution reactions (OER) is important for the practical implementations of hydrogen energy. Here, we report a Zn-doped CoSe2 nanosheets grown on free-standing carbon fabric collector (CFC), which was synthesized by using a metal organic framework (MOF) as precursor and followed by a selenylation process. Importantly, the Zn-doped CoSe2/CFC electrode exhibited an obviously enhanced catalytic activity for OER in 1 M KOH aqueous solution compared with CoSe2/CFC, showing a small overpotential of 356 mV for a current density of 10 mA cm(-2), a small Tafel slope of 88 mV dec(-1), and an excellent stability. The robust and free-standing electrode shows great potential as an economic catalyst for OER applications.
