Abstract

An amorphous NiFe layered double hydroxide was developed and shown to facilitate water oxidation via a lattice oxygen-mediated oxygen evolution mechanism. Theoretical calculations confirmed that Fe incorporation shifts the O 2p band centre of NiFeOOH closer to the Fermi level, thereby promoting the release of lattice oxygen.
