Large-scale application of sustainable energy devices urgently requires cost-effective electrocatalysts to overcome the sluggish kinetics related to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under acidic conditions. Here, we first report the highly efficient electrocatalytic characteristics of alpha-Fe(2)O(3)nanorings (NRs), which exhibits prominent OER electrocatalytic activity with lower overpotential of 1.43 V at 10 mA cm(-2)and great stability in 1 M HCl, surpassing the start-of-the art Ir/C electrocatalyst. The significantly optimized OER activity of the alpha-Fe(2)O(3)NRs mainly attributes to the synergistic effect of the excellent electrical conductivity and a large effective active surface because of their unique nanoring structure, disordered surface, and the dynamic stability of alpha-Fe(2)O(3)NRs in acidic conditions.
