Abstract
Oxygen evolution reaction is an essential but kinetically sluggish step in many energy storage and conversion processes and therefore is in pursuit of highly efficient and stable catalysts. Although nanosized transition-metal-based oxides/hydroxides exhibit high catalytic activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), many of them suffer from low stability at an anode current density in industrial scale. Herein, by combining a rapid epitaxial formation method with dynamic bubble-templated electrodeposition, we successfully developed single crystalline NiFeCu oxide catalysts with a hierarchical porous structure. It was found that the structure can facilitate fast electron transportation for the catalysts and retard the diffusion of the O atoms to the inner metallic current collector. The hierarchical pores inherited from the hydrogen bubble templates built ideal channels for the massive and rapid release of oxygen bubbles. As a consequence, the NiFeCu oxides catalyzed the OER more efficiently and steadily than the commercial RuO2 catalyst at an anode current density in industrial scale (300 mA/cm2). This work, by resolving the durability concerns for nanosized oxides, offers a series of highly efficient and stable catalysts for OER and a structure building strategy to boost the catalytic activity and stability for nonconductive catalysts.

Abstract
Production of hydrogen from a renewable source that is water requires the development of sustainable catalytic processes. This implies, among others, developing efficient catalytic materials from abundant and low-cost resources and investigating their performance, especially in the oxidation of water as this half-reaction is the bottleneck of the water splitting process. For this purpose, NiFe-based nanoparticles with sizes ca. 3-4 nm have been synthesized by an organometallic approach and characterized by complementary techniques (WAXS, TEM, STEM-HAADF, EDX, XPS, and ATR-FTIR). They display a Ni core and a mixed Ni-Fe oxide shell. Once deposited onto FTO electrodes, they have been assessed in the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction under alkaline conditions. Three different Ni/Fe ratios (2/1, 1/1 and 1/9) have been studied in comparison with their monometallic counterparts. The Ni2Fe1 nanocatalyst displayed the lowest overpotential (320 mV at j = 10 mA cm-2) as well as excellent stability over 16 h.
