The AlCo-LDH/NF (layered double hydroxide, LDH) catalyst was obtained by in situ growth on nickel foam (NF) by a one-step hydrothermal method. Benefitting from the transition metal-based LDH, as-synthesized AlCo-LDH in-situ grown on nickel foam (NF) electrocatalyst exhibited outstanding oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance with an exceptionally low overpotential of 419 mV at 200 mA·cm^-2 current density in an alkaline electrolyte, an extremely small Tafel slope (50.04 mV·dec^-1) and excellent durability, which is due to its high surface area and optimized phase interfaces.
- layered double hydroxide,
- oxygen evolution reaction,
- cyclic voltammetry,
- nickel foam
