1D/2D NiFeP/NiFe–OH heterostructure: roles of the unique nanostructure in stabilizing highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction

J. Mater. Chem. A, 2023, Advance Article
DOI: 10.1039/D3TA03132B, Paper
Fuzhen Zhao, Xin Zheng, Xinyu Mao, Huicong Liu, Liqun Zhu, Weiping Li, Hui Ye, Haining Chen
The 1D/2D NiFeP/NiFe–OH catalyst could not only rapidly release O2 bubbles during OER operation, but also suppress Fe dissolution from the 1D NTs by the 2D outer shells, tending to form stable NiFeP/NiOOH heterostructures eventually.
