Abstract

Abstract : Reducing Mn 2+ ions were doped to tailor the electronic structure of Ni and Fe sites in NiFe-layered double hydroxides. Abstract : Foreign metal ions with reducing ability were doped into NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe-LDHs) to activate the basal plane in NiFe-LDHs for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Mn 2+ -Doped NiFe-LDH array electrode yields a low onset potential of 1.41 V and exhibits outstanding stability. The study herein illustrates a new dimension of electronic structure regulation and promises further optimization of highly efficient electrocatalysts.
