In this study, an edge-enriched (EE) NiFe layer double hydroxide (LDH) nanoarray was synthesized as a catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), demonstrating superior electrocatalytic performance compared to other reported NiFe-LDH nanostructures. The exposed edges in the EE-NiFe-LDH contain abundant iron and oxygen vacancies, optimizing the electronic state and enhancing the adsorption of oxygenated intermediates, resulting in high catalytic activity for OER.
The rational design of advanced nanostructures for catalysts to fully expose the edge or corner sites is highly desirable to optimize their electrocatalytic performance. In this work, we report an edge-enriched (EE) NiFelayer double hydroxide (LDH) nanoarray with abundant coordinatively unsaturated sites, which was synthesized by a structure inheritance strategy using metal-organic framework (MOF) nanosheet array as a structuredirecting template. Impressively, the obtained EE-NiFe-LDH nanosheet array offers high electrocatalytic activity in oxygen evolution reaction (OER) with an overpotential of only 205 mV to reach a current density of 10 mA cm-2, outperforming all reported NiFe-LDH nanostructures. X-ray absorption spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations demonstrate that the exposed edges in EE-NiFe-LDH contain abundant iron and oxygen vacancies, which optimized the electronic state of the NiFe-LDH and enhanced the adsorption of oxygenated intermediates, resulting in the high catalytic activity for OER.
