Abstract Efficient noble‐metal free electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is critical large‐scale hydrogen production via water splitting. Inspired by Nature's cluster in photosystem II and the highly efficient artificial OER catalyst of NiFe layered double hydroxide (LDH), we designed an electrostatic 2D‐2D assembly route successfully synthesized a 2D LDH(+)‐Birnessite(−) hybrid. The as‐constructed hybrid showed advanced catalytic activity excellent stability towards under...
