“…Currently, transition-metal (Fe, Co, and Ni)-based catalysts exhibit electrocatalytic activity comparable to that of noble metals in water splitting and are the most promising candidates for electrocatalytic water splitting. , Especially, layered double hydroxides (LDHs) formed from transition metals exhibit excellent OER and overall water splitting performance under alkaline conditions. , Generally, LDHs exhibit two-dimensional (2D) layered nanosheets. This unique 2D layered structure gives LDH many advantages, such as flexible tunable metal cations in the host layer, easy regulation of interlayer anions and distances, and tunable nanosheet thickness. − However, the relatively inferior conductivity of LDHs is often disadvantageous for electron transportation, which eventually influences the electrocatalytic performance .…”
