“…The outstanding OER performance of the NiFe LDH/MOF can be attributed to several factors: (1) the sheet-like array structure maximizes active site exposure, increases the electrolyte contact area, and facilitates efficient electrolyte transport and gas emissions. 45,46 (2) The in situ grown self-supporting catalyst exhibits robust structural integrity, enhancing conductivity and avoiding the need for adhesives that could mask active sites, thereby improving durability of the catalyst. 47,48 (3) The carboxylic acid-based ligand of the MOF dissolved in the electrolyte promotes proton transfer on the catalyst surface, leading to superior kinetics.…”
