The research and development of transition metal oxides based electrocatalysts with high activity and stability for both oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction via a facile design strategy is of critical importance. Herein, we fulfill both significant oxygen evolution reaction and hydrogen evolution reaction improvement in activity by hierarchically nanostructured Ce-MnCo2O4 prepared by an oxalate coprecipitation method and a followed calcination process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy mappings analysis show that the hierarchically nanostructured Ce-MnCo2O4-3% sample is homogeneously modified by 1.49 wt % Ce with increased Co3+ species. We suspect that the introduction of suitable Ce content into MnCo2O4 facilitates the oxygen transfer and the formation of Co3+ species, and modifies the local chemical binding, resulting in active performance for oxygen evolution reaction (390 mV at 10 mA.cm(2) and a Tafel slope of 125 mV.dec(1)) in 1.0 M KOH solution. In addition, the Ce-MnCo2O4-3% sample also exhibits hydrogen evolution activity with overpotential of 389 mV at 10 mA.cm(2) and a Tafel slope of 96 mV.dec(1), and relatively good long-time stability for 12 h.
