摘要

A facile and scalable co-precipitation method is developed to prepare stable colloidal NiFe-LDH nanoparticles at room temperature. We further scrolled NiFe-LDH nanoparticles into well-aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) sheets to form binder-free hybrid microfiber electrodes, which showed excellent OER activity, reaching 180 mA cm(-2) at a small overpotential of 255 mV with outstanding durability.
