Abstract

An earth‐abundant and highly efficient electrocatalyst is essential for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to its poor kinetics. Layered double hydroxide (LDH)‐based nanomaterials are considered as promising electrocatalysts for OER. However, the stacking structure of LDHs limits the exposure of the active sites. Therefore, the exfoliation is necessary to expose more active sites. In addition, the defect engineering is proved to be an efficient strategy to enhance the performance of OER electrocatalysts. For the first time, this study prepares ultrathin CoFe LDHs nanosheets with multivacancies as OER electrocatalysts by water‐plasma‐enabled exfoliation. The water plasma can destroy the electrostatic…
