Formation of unexpectedly active Ni–Fe oxygen evolution electrocatalysts by physically mixing Ni and Fe oxyhydroxides

Abstract

We present an unusual, yet facile, strategy towards formation of physically mixed Ni–Fe(OxHy) oxygen evolution electrocatalysts. We use in situ X-ray absorption and UV-vis spectroscopy, and high-resolution imaging to demonstrate that physical contact between two inferior Ni(OH)2 and Fe(OOH) catalysts self-assemble into atomically intermixed Ni–Fe catalysts with unexpectedly high activity.
