Altered electronic structure of trimetallic FeNiCo-MOF nanosheets for efficient oxygen evolution

Theoretical calculation results unveil that the reconstructed Co(Ni)OOH on FeNiCo-MOF during OER processes is beneficial to improve the OER activity. Experimentally, to achieve 2D trimetallic FeNiCo-MOF nanosheets, a facile room-temperature dispersion approach is employed. Such 2D nanosheets reveal an OER overpotential as low as 239 mV at 10 mA cm(-2) and excellent long-term stability in 1M KOH. Undoubtedly, this work highlights the great potential of directly utilizing MOF nanosheets as OER electrocatalysts.
