MOFs present potential application in electrocatalysis. The structure-activity of the Ni-MOFs with different morphologies, nanowires, neurons, and urchins is systemically investigated. The Ni-MOFs were controllably synthesized via the facile solvothermal method. Among them, the Ni-MOF nanowires are endowed with the highest electrocatalytic activity due to the unique structure, more exposed active sites, lower charge transfer resistance, and the fast and direct electron transfer in 1D structures. The typical morphology of the Ni-MOF nanowires is ca. 10 nm in diameter and several micrometers in length. When employed as an electrocatalyst in urea oxidation reaction, it exhibits a lower overpotential than and superior stability to the NiMOFs with other morphologies. Ni-MOF nanowires require a potential of similar to 0.80 V (vs Ag/AgCl) to obtain 160 mA cm(-2). In addition, after continuous electrocatalyzing for 3600 s at 0.40 V (vs Ag/AgCl), the current density retention of Ni-MOF nanowires could still reach more than 60% (>12 mA cm(-2)), which demonstrates Ni-MOF nanowires as promising electrocatalysts for urea oxidation.
