Abstract

The exploration of earth-abundant and efficient electrocatalysts toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical for sustainable energy storage and conversion devices. In this work, we report a self-engaged strategy to fabricate a yolk-shelled OER electrocatalyst. Starting with a metal–organic framework, Co-Fe layered double hydroxide (LDH)@zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67) yolk-shelled structures are formed in one step. Afterwards, these ZIF-67 building blocks are transformed into Ni-Co LDH nanocages to form the Ni-Co-Fe hydr(oxy)oxide@Ni-Co LDH yolk-shelled microrods (NiCoFe-HO@NiCo-LDH YSMRs) through an ion-exchange reaction. Owing to the structural and compositional merits, the NiCoFe-HO@NiCo-LDH YSMR electrocatalyst exhibits an overpotential of 278 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm−2, a small Tafel slope of 49.7 mV dec−1, and good stability in alkaline media. © 2022 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
