Abstract This study reports the synthesis of ultrafine NiFe‐layered double hydroxide (NiFe‐LDH) nanosheets, possessing a size range between 1.5 and 3.0 nm with thickness 0.6 nm. Abundant metal oxygen vacancies impart nanosheets semi‐metallic character, thus superior charge transfer properties electrochemical water oxidation performance overpotentials (η) 254 mV relative to monolayer LDH (η 280 mV) or bulk materials 320 at 10 mA cm −2 .

Harvesting solar energy for catalytic conversion of CO2 into valuable chemical fuels/feedstocks is an attractive yet challenging strategy to realize a sustainable carbon-cycle utilization. Homogeneous catalysts typically exhibit higher activity and selectivity as compared with heterogeneous counterparts, benefiting from their atomically dispersed sites versatile coordination structures. However, it still "black box" how the electronic structures dynamically evolve during reaction, forming...
Abstract The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) plays a fundamental role in sustainable energy technologies.
