Article Abstract
NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) is thought of as a promising bifunctional water-splitting catalyst, owing to its excellent performances for alkaline oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). However, it shows extremely poor activity toward hydrogen evolution reactions (HERs) due to the weak hydrogen adsorption. We demonstrated that the integration of Rh species and NiFe-LDH can dramatically improve its HER kinetics without sacrificing the OER performance. The Rh species were initially integrated into NiFe-LDH as oxidized dopants and metallic clusters (< 1 nm). In 1 M KOH electrolyte, an overpotential of 58 mV is needed to catalyze 10 mA cm HER current density. Furthermore, this catalyst only requires 1.46 V to drive an electrolyzer at 10 mA cm. A strong interaction between metallic Rh clusters and NiFe hydroxide during the HER process is revealed. The theoretical calculation shows the Rh ions replace Fe ions as the major active sites that are responsible for OERs.

Electrochemical water splitting offers a sustainable strategy for hydrogen production, yet the kinetic sluggishness of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) due to high activation barriers remains a critical challenge. NiFe layered double hydroxide (NiFe LDH) is a promising OER catalyst in alkaline media, but its performance suffers from limited active site exposure and insufficient durability. Herein, the rational design of a Ta-doped NiFe LDH (NiFeTa LDH) were achieved a facile hydrothermal method.

Single-atom catalysts (SACs) have emerged as revolutionary agents in cancer treatment owing to their optimized atomic efficiency and highly tunable catalytic properties. Nonetheless, their clinical application is hindered by restricted stability, ineffective substrate adsorption, and subpar catalytic rates under physiological conditions. This study presents the rational design of a hybrid Ru single-atom nanozyme, based on a NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) and coupled with an MXene (RuSA/NiFe-LDH-MXene), facilitating synergistic photothermal and catalytic tumor therapy.

In this work, we present a cerium-substituted NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-Ce LDH) that synergistically activates both the adsorbate evolution mechanism (AEM) and a localized lattice-oxygen mechanism (LOM) for efficient alkaline water oxidation. Atomic Ce incorporation induces charge redistribution through Ce -O interactions, stabilizing Fe sites and upshifting the O band to enable controlled lattice-oxygen redox without structural collapse. In situ ATR-SEIRAS and DEMS measurements confirm the simultaneous formation of *OOH and OO* intermediates, indicating the hybrid pathway.

Electrochemical water splitting for hydrogen production is considered a key pathway for achieving sustainable energy conversion. However, the sluggish reaction kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and high overpotentials severely hinder the large-scale application of water electrolysis technology. Nickel-iron layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) has gained attention as a promising non-precious metal OER catalyst due to its abundant active sites and good intrinsic activity.

Seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production harnesses renewable energy sources, contributing to sustainable development. However, competing anodic reactions, such as the chloride oxidation reaction (ClOR), can adversely affect the activity and stability of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). In this study, we propose a strategy that significantly enhances the OER activity and selectivity of NiFe-layered double hydroxides (LDHs) by incorporating chromium (Cr) (Cr-NiFeLDHs).
