of highly efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen
evolution reaction (OER) is urgently demanded by the clean hydrogen
energy. Herein, in order to further boost the OER activity of metal
nitrate hydroxide materials, amorphous Fe(OH)3 layer is
in situ grown on nickel nitrate hydroxide (NiNH) nanoarrays supported
on nickel foam (NF) through an interfacial hydrolysis approach, where
the loading amount of the Fe(OH)3 can be simply manipulated
by the hydrolysis time. Taking advantage of the synergy of Fe(OH)3 and NiNH, the optimized Fe(OH)3@NiNH/NF sample
shows a very promising electrocatalytic OER activity in 1 M KOH solution,
requiring a very low overpotential of 212 mV vs. reversible hydrogen
electrode (RHE) to deliver a geometrical catalytic current density
of 100 mA cm–2 and a low Tafel slope of 49 mV dec–1. This work provides a new strategy for boosting the
electrocatalytic activity of metal hydroxide nitrates through the
interface engineering.
