The development of efficient and cost-effective oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is crucial for clean energy conversion and storage devices, such as water-splitting, CO₂ reduction, and metal-air batteries. Herein, we report an efficient 2-dimensional OER catalyst of ultrathin nickel-iron sulfide nanosheets (NiFeS-NS). Dodecanethiol is employed in the synthesis, which prohibits the growth along the Z-axis, thus a nanosheet is obtained. The NiFeS-NS shows high OER catalytic activity, which only requires a small overpotential of 273 mV to achieve the OER current density of 10 mA/cm² in alkaline electrolyte, and almost no decay after 150 h of chronopotentiometry test. The high performance is attributed to the 2-dimensional structure, the synergistic effect from the Ni and Fe components which promotes the formation of the high valence Ni species, and the tuning effect from the in-situ generated sulfate doping. This work demonstrates the advantages of the 2-dimensional sulfides in electrocatalysis.
