Abstract

Abstract: FeCoNi spinel oxides nanosheets array directly supported on the Ni foam substrate were prepared via a facile wet chemical method with 2‐methylimidazole as a structure directing agent and subsequently annealing. The as‐prepared 0.1Fe−CoNiO/NF offers high intrinsic catalytic activity, high surface area and good conductivity, resulting in enhanced activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the alkaline solution. It demonstrates an ultralow overpotentials of 240 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a small Tafel slope of 36.8 mV dec −1, with attractive durability during long‐term operation in 1 M KOH solution. Abstract : Foam Water Oxidation : FeCoNi spinel oxides nanosheets array directly supported on the Ni foam substrate were successfully prepared. The optimized 0.1Fe−CoNiO/NF achieve an ultralow overpotentials of 240 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and a small Tafel slope of 36.8 mV dec −1, with attractive durability during long‐term operation in 1 M KOH solution. Such performance can be essentially ascribed to the comprehensive effects of high intrinsic catalytic activity, high surface area and good conductivity.
