Intrinsic Electrocatalytic Activity for Oxygen Evolution of Crystalline 3d-Transition Metal Layered Double Hydroxides.

ABSTRACT: Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are among the most active and studied catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline electrolytes. However, previous studies have generally either focused on a small number of LDHs, applied synthetic routes with limited structural control, or used non-intrinsic activity metrics, thus hampering the construction of consistent structure-activity-relations. Herein, by employing new individually developed synthesis strategies with atomic structural control, we obtained a broad series of crystalline α-M_A (II)M_B (III) LDH and β-M_A (OH)₂ electrocatalysts (M_A =Ni, Co, and M_B =Co, Fe, Mn). We further derived their intrinsic activity through electrochemical active surface area normalizati
