Layered double hydroxides (LDHs), as an effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalyst, face many challenges in practical applications. The main obstacle is that bulk materials limit the exposure of active sites. At the same time, the poor conductivity of LDHs is also an important factor. Exfoliation is one of the most direct and effective strategies to increase the electrocatalytic properties of LDHs, leading to exposure of many active sites. However, developing an efficient exfoliation strategy to exfoliate LDHs into stable monolayer nanosheets is still challenging. Therefore, we report a new and efficient solid-phase exfoliation strategy to exfoliate NiFe LDH and graphene oxide (GO) into monolayer nanosheets and the exfoliating ratios of NiFe LDH and GO can reach up to 10 and 5 wt %, respectively. Based on the solid-phase exfoliation strategy, we accidentally discovered that there is a dynamic evolution process between NiFe-LDH nanosheets (NiFe-LDH-NS) and GO nanosheets (GO-NS) to assemble new NiFe-LDH/GO nanohybrids, i.e., NiFe-LDH-NS could be horizontal bespreading on GO-NS or well-organized standing on GO-NS, or both simultaneously. The electrocatalytic OER property test results show that NiFe-LDH/RGO-3 (NFRG-3) nanohybrids obtained by the reduction treatment of NiFe-LDH/GO-3 (NFGO-3) nanohybrids, in which NiFe-LDH-NS are well-organized standing on GO-NS, have excellent electrocatalytic properties for OER in an alkaline solution (with a small overpotential of 273 mV and a Tafel slope of 49 mV dec(-1) at the current density of 30 mA cm (-2)). The excellent electrocatalytic properties for OER of NFRG-3 nanohybrids could be attributed to the unique three-dimensional arraylike structure with many active sites. At the same time, reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with excellent conductivity can improve the charge-transfer efficiency and synergistically improve OER properties of nanohybrids.
