The ultrathin nanosheets decorated on the Co_9S_8 nanoarrays offer large specific surface area, numerous active edge sites and excellent electrical conductivity for fast electron transfer. Benefiting from this heterogeneous structure, the catalyst presents excellent catalytic performance in alkaline media. It requires 168 mV to reach current density of 10 mA/cm^2 for HER and 278 m V to reach current density of 30 mA/cm^2 for OER. When used as electrode in a homemade two-electrode system, it only needs t a voltage of 1.63 V to achieve current densities of 10 mA/cm^2, which proves Co_9S_8@NiCo LDH/NF as a superior bifunctional catalyst for water splitting.展开更多
