Coupling FeSe2 with CoSe: an effective strategy to create stable and efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation

A novel CoSe/FeSe2 nanohybrid electrocatalyst was prepared by a simple one-step hydrothermal method. Owing to the unique interface structure, abundant internal defects, good hydrophilia and electrical coupling effects between different components, the hybrid shows enhanced oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performances, better than those of the individual CoSe and FeSe2.
