Constructing high-performance electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) using a simple and economical strategy is considerably meaningful yet still challenging. Herein, Co(OH)₂/Mo₂TiC₂T_x (where T represents the surface functional groups, -O, -OH and -F) hetero-nanosheets were facilely prepared by the in situ topochemical transformation at room temperature towards efficient OER. The integrity of Co(OH)₂ nanosheets and Mo₂TiC₂T_x nanosheets affords interfacial coupling to optimize the electronic structures of Co and Mo ions, which endows the high electron transfer efficiency and rapid reaction kinetics. As a result, the Co(OH)₂/Mo₂TiC₂T_x hetero-nanosheets exhibit excellent OER performances with low overpotentials of 283 mV on glass-carbon electrode, and 227 mV on nickel foam at 10 mA/cm². Furthermore, the decent anti-alkali ability underpins superior operational stability exceeding 100 h, demonstrating grand potential in practical applications. This work provides a new insight for the synthesis of efficient and cost-effective two-dimensional (2D) material-based electrocatalysts.
