well-tuned electronic configuration. [4,5] Especially, with an edge-sharing octahedral MO 6 layer-stacking crystal structure served as highly active sites, NiFe-based layered double hydroxides (NiFe LDHs) exhibited highly remarkable intrinsic electrochemical activity. [6,7] Several studies have reported that NiFe LDH is actually a precatalyst, and it heavily undergoes a self-reconstruction process in basic solution, generating Ni oxyhydroxide (NiOOH) as the active species for OER. [8,9] To begin with, Alexis et al. characterized the vibration mode of NiOOH by in situ Raman spectra, when Ni-Fe films worked as anodes in basic media during the OER. [10] Then, some research revealed that NiOOH species is generally recognized as the positive reaction species and can provide abundant intrinsic catalytic sites for OER. [11][12][13] Not limited to OER, NiOOH can also efficiently catalyze the anodic degradation of urea that featured with the more complex six-electron redox process. [14,15] However, owing to the instability of the high valence state of Ni (III) which can easily transform into Ni (II), the direct synthesis and application of NiOOH have not been realized, unless a high anodic polarization is applied. [16,17] Therefore, it is crucial to explore synthesis methods to stabilize NiOOH catalyst.Among the multiple regulation methods, surface structure reconstruction with the aid of a new phase is widely accepted as a controllable approach for synthesizing novel composites with NiOOH is considered as the most active intermediate during electrochemical oxidation reaction, however, it is hard to directly synthesize due to high oxidation energy. Herein, theoretical calculations predict that α-FeOOH enables a decline in formation energy and an improvement in stabilization of NiOOH in NiFe-based layered double hydroxide (LDH). Inspiringly, a composite composed of α-FeOOH and LDH is well-designed and successfully fabricated in hydrothermal treatment by adding extra Fe 3+ resource, and stable NiOOH is obtained by the following electro-oxidation method. Benefiting from strong electron-capturing capability of α-FeOOH, it efficiently promotes charge redistribution around the Ni/Fe sites and activates Ni atoms of LDH, verified by X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) and X-ray absorption spectra (XAS). The d-band center is optimized that balances the absorption and desorption energy, and thus Gibbs free energy barrier is lowered dramatically toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and urea oxidation reaction (UOR), and finally showing an outstanding overpotential of 195 mV and a potential of 1.35 V at 10 mA cm −2 , respectively. This study provides a novel strategy to construct highly efficient catalysts via the introduction of a new phase for complex multiple-electron reactions.
