Abstract

It is of major importance and a challenge to design a three-dimensional electrocatalyst with a porous structure for enhancing the oxygen evolution reaction. In this report, NiCo double hydroxides were directly grown on N-doping carbon nanofibers framework (N-CNF-NiCo) by a facile hydrothermal method. The N-CNF-NiCo had an advanced hierarchical porous structure and a high surface area (129.5 m2/g). As a three-dimensional electrocatalyst, the N-CNF-NiCo exhibits an excellent catalytic activity and long-time durability toward water oxidation in alkaline solutions. The remarkable catalytic activity arises also from N-doping in the carbon nanofibers.
