AbstractElectrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is one of the crucial reactions for converting renewable electricity into chemical fuel in the form of hydrogen. To date, there is still a challenge in designing ideal cost-effective OER catalysts with excellent activity and robust durability. The hybridization of transition metal oxides and carbonaceous materials is one of the most effective and promising strategies to develop high-performance electrocatalysts. Herein, this work synthesized hybrids of NiFe2O4 spinel materials with two-dimensional (2D) graphene oxide and one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes using a facile solvothermal approach. Electrocatalytic activities of NiFe2O4 with 2D graphene oxide toward OER were realized to be superior even to the 1D carbon nanotube-based electrocatalyst in terms of overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA/cm2 as well as Tafel slopes. The NiFe2O4 with 2D graphene oxide hybrid exhibits good stability with an overpotential of 327 mV at a current density of 10 mA/cm2 and a Tafel slope of 103 mV/dec. The high performance of NiFe2O4 with 2D graphene oxide is mainly attributed to its unique morphology, more exposed active sites, and a porous structure with a high surface area. Thus, an approach of hybridizing a metal oxide with a carbonaceous material offers an attractive platform for developing an efficient electrocatalyst for water electrochemistry applications.

Few-layer exfoliated black phosphorus (Ex-BP) has attracted tremendous attention owing to its promising applications, including in electrocatalysis. However, it remains a challenge to directly use few-layer Ex-BP as oxygen-involved electrocatalyst because it is quite difficult to restrain structural degradation caused by spontaneous oxidation and keep it stable. Here, a robust carbon-stabilization strategy has been implemented to prepare carbon-coated Ex-BP/N-doped graphene nanosheet (Ex-BP/NGS@C) nanostructures at room temperature, which exhibit superior oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity under alkaline conditions. Specifically, the as-synthesized Ex-BP/NGS@C hybrid presents a low overpotential of 257 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with a small Tafel slope of 52 mV dec−1 and shows high durability after long-term testing.

Developing efficient and low-cost replacements for noble metals as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remain a great challenge. Herein, we report a needle-like cobalt carbonate hydroxide hydrate (Co(CO3)0.5OH·0.11H2O) nanoarrays, which in situ grown on the surface of carbon cloth through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterizations demonstrate that the Co(CO3)0.5OH nanoarrays with high porosity is composed of numerous one-dimensional (1D) nanoneedles. Owing to unique needle-like array structure and abundant exposed active sites, the Co(CO3)0.5OH@CC only requires 317 mV of overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2, which is much lower than those of Co(OH)2@CC (378 mV), CoCO3@CC (465 mV) and RuO2@CC (380 mV). For the stability, there is no significant attenuation of current density after continuous operation 27 h. This work paves a facile way to the design and construction of electrocatalysts for the OER.
