Abstract

Zinc hydroxide-organic framework (Zn-HOF) nanosheets were synthesized by electrochemically triggered self-reconstruction of a double-ligand metal–organic framework (MOF) for the first time. This Zn-HOF catalyst exhibits high activity and selectivity towards the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR), delivering a high H₂O₂ productivity of 3.95 mol g_cat⁻¹ h⁻¹ at 0 V vs. RHE with a Faraday efficiency (FE) of approximately 96% in an alkaline electrolyte.
