文摘Developing hierarchical electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great importance for electrochemical hydrogen production.Here,we describe the development of a hierarchical CuO@NiCo layered double hydroxide core–shell nanoarray on copper foil (CuO@NiCo LDH/CF) as a 3D OER electrocatalyst.When tested in 1.0 M KOH,such CuO@NiCo LDH/CF offers superior catalytic activity with a geometrical catalytic current density of 20 mA cm^(−2) at an overpotential of only 256 mV.It also shows strong long-term electrochemical durability to retain its activity for at least 24 h.
