Amorphous/crystalline heterostructure of NiFe (oxy)hydroxides for efficient oxygen evolution and urea oxidation

Abstract

A V-doped amorphous/crystalline heterostructure of NiFe (oxy)hydroxide with nanoflower morphology is developed, which exhibits excellent OER and UOR catalytic activities. V doping changes the local charge density, lowers the reaction barrier, and optimizes the electron arrangement of the NiFe LDH catalyst.
