Developing highly efficient nickel or iron based hydroxide electrocatalysts is primary essential but challenging for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at ultra-high current densities. Herein, we developed a facile method to prepare nitrogen and iron doped nickel(Ⅱ) hydroxide nanosheets on self-supported conductive nickel foam (denoted as Fe, N-Ni(OH)₂/NF) through ammonia hydrothermal and impregnation methods. Owing to the optimization of the electronic structure by nitrogen doping and the strong synergistic effect between Fe and Ni(OH)₂, the three-dimensional (3D) Fe, N-Ni(OH)₂/NF nanosheets delivered superior electrocatalytic OER performances in basic solution with low potentials of 1.57V and 1.59V under 500mA/cm² and 1000mA/cm² respectively and robust operation for 10 h with ignored activity decay, comparing well with the potentials of previously reported NiFe based electrocatalysts as well as the benchmark commercial Ir/C/NF. In-situ Raman spectroscopy revealed that the main active species were NiOOH during the OER process. The present results are expected to provide new insights into the study of OER process towards ultra-high current densities.
