Amorphous/crystalline heterostructure of NiFe (oxy)hydroxides for efficient oxygen evolution and urea oxidation

Chem Commun (Camb). 2023 Apr 13;59(31):4620-4623. doi: 10.1039/d3cc00991b.

Abstract

A V-doped amorphous/crystalline heterostructure of NiFe (oxy)hydroxide with nanoflower morphology is developed, which exhibits excellent OER and UOR catalytic activities. V doping changes the local charge density, lowers the reaction barrier, and optimizes the electron arrangement of the NiFe LDH catalyst.
