Abstract

By utilizing Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials as a base, constructing electrocatalysts with heterogeneous structures offers advantages for catalyzing water splitting. In this study, a hollow heterogeneous nanocatalyst, Ir-MIL-88A@NiFe-LDHs, was prepared by growing a layered double hydroxides (LDHs) shell on MIL-88A substrate. The catalyst shows excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance in a 1.0 M KOH solution, requiring only 217 mV overpotential to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a Tafel slope of 62.18 mV dec-1, indicating significant electrocatalytic performance and reaction kinetics characteristics. Furthermore, long-term OER testing also demonstrates the catalyst's outstanding stability. Emphasizing the interfacial interaction between MOF and LDHs, as well as the synergistic effect among Ni, Fe, and Ir elements, the study highlights how these factors collaboratively control the local electronic structure of the hollow Ir-MIL-88A@NiFe-LDHs, resulting in an efficient MOF-derived electrocatalyst.
