However, there is plenty of fossil energy consumed in the preparation of the catalysts,which results in a heavy pollution. Therefore, it is much desired but challenging to fabricate high-efficiency catalysts without extra energy input. Herein, we used a facile one-pot room-temperature method to synthesize a highly efficient electrocatalyst of nickel iron layered double hydroxide grown on Ni foam(NiFe LDH/NF) for oxygen evolution reaction(OER). The formation of the NiFe LDH follows a dissolutionprecipitation process, in which the acid conditions by hydrolysis of Fe^3+ combined with NO3^- could etch the NF to form Ni^2+. Then, the obtained Ni^2+ was co-precipitated with the hydrolysed Fe^3+ to in situ generate NiFe LDH on the NF. The NiFe LDH/NF exhibits excellent OER performance with a low potential of about 1.411 V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode(RHE) at a current density of 10 m A cm^-2, a small Tafel slope of 42.3 mV dec^-1 and a significantly low potential of ~1.452 V vs. RHE at 100 mA cm^-2 in 1 mol L^-1 KOH. Moreover, the material also keeps its original morphology and structure over 20 h. This energy-efficient strategy to synthesize NiFe LDH is highly promising for widespread application in OER catalyst industry.展开更多
