Three-dimensional N-doped graphene hydrogel/NiCo double hydroxide electrocatalysts for highly efficient oxygen evolution

Abstract

A highly hydrated structure was fabricated for catalyzing the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which demonstrated significantly enhanced catalytic activity, favorable kinetics, and strong durability. The enhanced performance is correlated with the dual-active-site mechanism, and high hydrophilicity of the electrode can dramatically expedite the process of water oxidation into molecular oxygen.
