Abstract
Improvement of electrochemical technologies is one of the most popular topics in the field of renewable energy. However, this process requires a deep understanding of the electrode-electrolyte interface behavior under operando conditions. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) is widely employed to characterize electrode materials, providing element-selective oxidation state and local structure. Several existing cells allow studies as close as possible to realistic operating conditions, but most of them rely on the deposition of the electrodes on conductive and X-ray transparent materials, from where the radiation impinges the sample. In this work, we present a new electrochemical flow-cell for operando XAS that can be used with X-ray opaque substrates, since the signal is effectively detected from the electrode surface, as the radiation passes through a thin layer of electrolyte (∼17 μm). The electrolyte can flow over the electrode, reducing bubble formation and avoiding strong reactant concentration gradients. We show that high-quality data can be obtained under operando conditions, thanks to the high efficiency of the cell from the hard X-ray regime down to ∼4 keV. We report as a case study the operando XAS investigation at the Fe and Ni K-edges on Ni-doped γ-Fe2O3 films, epitaxially grown on Pt substrates. The effect of the Ni content on the catalytic performances for the oxygen evolution reaction is discussed.

Abstract
Lightweight and flexible electronic materials with high energy attenuation hold an unassailable position in electromagnetic stealth and intelligent devices. Among them, emerging heterodimensional structure draws intensive attention in the frontiers of materials, chemistry, and electronics, owing to the unique electronic, magnetic, thermal, and optical properties. Herein, an intrinsic heterodimensional structure consisting of alternating assembly of 0D magnetic clusters and 2D conductive layers is developed, and its macroscopic electromagnetic properties are flexibly designed by customizing the number of oxidative molecular layer deposition (oMLD) cycles. This unique heterodimensional structure features highly ordered spatial distribution, with an achievement of electron-dipole and magnetic-dielectric double synergies, which exhibits the high attenuation of electromagnetic energy (160) and substantial improvement of dielectric loss tangent (≈200%). It can respond to electromagnetic waves of different bands to achieve multispectral stealth, covering visible light, infrared radiation, and gigahertz wave. Importantly, two kinds of ingenious information interaction devices are constructed with heterodimensional structure. The hierarchical antennas allow precise targeting of operating bands (S- to Ku- bands) by oMLD cycles. The strain imaging device with high sensitivity opens a new horizon for visual interaction. This work provides a creative insight for developing advanced micro-nano materials and intelligent devices.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic nitrogen reduction reaction (NRR) under ambient conditions provides an intriguing pathway to convert N2 into NH3 . However, significant kinetic barriers of the NRR at low temperatures in desirable aqueous electrolytes remain a grand challenge due to the inert N≡N bond of the N2 molecule. Herein, we propose a unique strategy for in situ oxygen vacancy construction to address the significant trade-off between N2 adsorption and NH3 desorption by building a hollow shell structured Fe3 C/Fe3 O4 heterojunction coated with carbon frameworks (Fe3 C/Fe3 O4 @C). In the heterostructure, the Fe3 C triggers the oxygen vacancies of the Fe3 O4 component, which are likely active sites for the NRR. The design could optimize the adsorption strength of the N2 and Nx Hy intermediates, thus boosting the catalytic activity for the NRR. This work highlights the significance of the interaction between defect and interface engineering for regulating electrocatalytic properties of heterostructured catalysts for the challenging NRR. It could motivate an in-depth exploration to advance N2 reduction to ammonia.

Abstract
Recently, the growing demand for a renewable and sustainable fuel alternative is contingent on fuel cell technologies. Even though it is regarded as an environmentally sustainable method of generating fuel for immediate concerns, it must be enhanced to make it extraordinarily affordable, and environmentally sustainable. Hydrogen (H2 ) synthesis by electrochemical water splitting (ECWS) is considered one of the foremost potential prospective methods for renewable energy output and H2 society implementation. Existing massive H2 output is mostly reliant on the steaming reformation of carbon fuels that yield CO2 together with H2 and is a finite resource. ECWS is a viable, efficient, and contamination-free method for H2 evolution. Consequently, developing reliable and cost-effective technology for ECWS was a top priority for scientists around the globe. Utilizing renewable technologies to decrease total fuel utilization is crucial for H2 evolution. Capturing and transforming the fuel from the ambient through various renewable solutions for water splitting (WS) could effectively reduce the need for additional electricity. ECWS is among the foremost potential prospective methods for renewable energy output and the achievement of a H2 -based economy. For the overall water splitting (OWS), several transition-metal-based polyfunctional metal catalysts for both cathode and anode have been synthesized. Furthermore, the essential to the widespread adoption of such technology is the development of reduced-price, super functional electrocatalysts to substitute those, depending on metals. Many metal-premised electrocatalysts for both the anode and cathode have been designed for the WS process. The attributes of H2 and oxygen (O2 ) dynamics interactions on the electrodes of water electrolysis cells and the fundamental techniques for evaluating the achievement of electrocatalysts are outlined in this paper. Special emphasis is paid to their fabrication, electrocatalytic performance, durability, and measures for enhancing their efficiency. In addition, prospective ideas on metal-based WS electrocatalysts based on existing problems are presented. It is anticipated that this review will offer a straight direction toward the engineering and construction of novel polyfunctional electrocatalysts encompassing superior efficiency in a suitable WS technique.

Abstract
Electrocatalytic water splitting is a promising and viable technology to produce clean, sustainable, and storable hydrogen as an energy carrier. However, to meet the ever-increasing global energy demand, it is imperative to develop high-performance non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), as the OER is considered the bottleneck for electrocatalytic water splitting. Spinels, in particular, are considered promising OER electrocatalysts due to their unique properties, precise structures, and compositions. Herein, the recent progress on the application of bimetallic-based spinels (AFe2 O4 , ACo2 O4 , and AMn2 O4 ; where A = Ni, Co, Cu, Mn, and Zn) as electrocatalysts for the OER is presented. The fundamental concepts of the OER are highlighted after which the family of spinels, their general formula, and classifications are introduced. This is followed by an overview of the various classifications of bimetallic-based spinels and their recent developments and applications as OER electrocatalysts, with special emphasis on enhancing strategies that have been formulated to improve the OER performance of these spinels. In conclusion, this review summarizes all studies mentioned therein and provides the challenges and future perspectives for bimetallic-based spinel OER electrocatalysts.

Abstract
The development of efficient electrocatalysts for the water splitting process and understanding their fundamental catalytic mechanisms are highly essential to achieving high performance in energy conversion technologies. Herein, we have synthesised spinel nickel ferrite nanofibers (NiFe2O4-NFs) via an electrospinning (ES) method followed by a carbonization process. The resultant fiber was subjected to electrocatalytic water splitting reactions in alkaline medium. The catalytic efficiency of the NiFe2O4-NFs in OER was highly satisfactory. But it is not high enough to catalyse the HER process. Hence, palladium ions were decorated as nanosheets on NiFe2O4-NFs as a heterostructure to improve the catalytic efficiency for HER. Density functional theory (DFT) confirms that the addition of palladium to NiFe2O4-NFs helps to reduce the effect of catalyst poisoning and improve the efficiency of the catalyst. In an alkaline hybrid electrolyser, the required cell voltage was observed as 1.51 V at a fixed current density of 10 mA cm-2.

Abstract
Frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalysts have attracted much recent interest because of their exceptional ability to activate small molecules in homogeneous catalysis. In the past ten years, this unique catalysis concept has been extended to heterogeneous catalysis, with much success. Herein, we review the recent theoretical advances in understanding FLP-based heterogeneous catalysis in several applications, including metal oxides, functionalized surfaces, and two-dimensional materials. A better understanding of the details of the catalytic mechanism can help in the experimental design of novel heterogeneous FLP catalysts.

Abstract
Generally, support materials with particular structural properties could effectively anchor metal nanoparticles and provide lower activation barriers in heterogeneous catalysis. To tailor the structure of stable iron oxide, NiFe2O4 of inverse spinel structure was obtained by combining nickel with iron element under an alkaline environment and high-temperature calcination. The p-type conductivity of NiFe2O4 provides the possibility of constructing electronic interfacial interaction with Pt nanoparticles by electron transfer. The constructed metal-support interaction could effectively stabilize Pt nanoparticles and be further enhanced during long-term harsh calcination (700 °C for 48 h) even under an O2 atmosphere. Meanwhile, the abundant structural defects of NiFe2O4 are beneficial for constructing low-temperature redox centers with the aid of Pt nanoparticles. Pt/NiFe2O4 exhibited not only excellent activity in room-temperature oxidation (CO and HCHO) and reduction reactions (chemo-selective hydrogenation of nitroarenes), but also high stability even after storage for more than 6 months. A self-adjusting mechanism triggered by structural defects is disclosed by in situ characterization and systematic reaction results. This work demonstrates an alternative concept to construct sinter-resistant and highly-effective nano-platinum catalysts robust for oxidation and reduction reactions.

Abstract
In this work, defect-rich ordered mesoporous spinel oxides, including CoCo2O4, NiCo2O4, and ZnCo2O4, were developed as bifunctional electrocatalysts toward oxygen reduction and evolution reactions (ORR and OER, respectively). The materials are synthesized via nanocasting and modified by chemical treatment with 0.1 M NaBH4 solution to enhance the defect concentration. The synthesized samples have metal and oxygen divacancies (VCo + VO) as the primary defect sites, as indicated by positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Cation substitution in the spinel structure induces a higher number of oxygen vacancies. The increased number of surface defects and the synergistic effect between two incorporated metals provide a high activity in both the OER and ORR in the case of NiCo2O4 and ZnCo2O4. Especially, ZnCo2O4 exhibits the highest OER/ORR activity. The defect engineering with 0.1 M NaBH4 solution results in a metal-hydroxylated surface (M-OH) and enhanced the catalytic activity for the post-treated metal oxides in the ORR and OER. This fundamental investigation of the defective structure of the mixed metal oxides offers some useful insights into further development of highly active electrocatalysts through defect engineering methods.

Abstract
The impact of reduction post-treatment and phase segregation of cobalt iron oxide nanowires on their electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity is investigated. A series of cobalt iron oxide spinel nanowires are prepared via the nanocasting route using ordered mesoporous silica as a hard template. The replicated oxides are selectively reduced through a mild reduction that results in phase transformation as well as the formation of grain boundaries. The detailed structural analyses, including the 57Fe isotope-enriched Mössbauer study, validated the formation of iron oxide clusters supported by ordered mesoporous CoO nanowires after the reduction process. This affects the OER activity significantly, whereby the overpotential at 10 mA/cm2 decreases from 378 to 339 mV and the current density at 1.7 V vs RHE increases by twofold from 150 to 315 mA/cm2. In situ Raman microscopy revealed that the surfaces of reduced CoO were oxidized to cobalt with a higher oxidation state upon solvation in the KOH electrolyte. The implementation of external potential bias led to the formation of an oxyhydroxide intermediate and a disordered-spinel phase. The interactions of iron clusters with cobalt oxide at the phase boundaries were found to be beneficial to enhance the charge transfer of the cobalt oxide and boost the overall OER activity by reaching a Faradaic efficiency of up to 96%. All in all, the post-reduction and phase segregation of cobalt iron oxide play an important role as a precatalyst for the OER.

Abstract
Currently, hydrogen production is based on the reforming process, leading to the emission of pollutants; therefore, a substitute production method is imminently required. Water electrolysis is an ideal alternative for large-scale hydrogen production, as it does not produce any carbon-based pollutant byproducts. The production of green hydrogen from water electrolysis using intermittent sources (e.g., solar and eolic sources) would facilitate clean energy storage. However, the electrocatalysts currently required for water electrolysis are noble metals, making this potential option expensive and inaccessible for industrial applications. Therefore, there is a need to develop electrocatalysts based on earth-abundant and low-cost metals. Nickel-based electrocatalysts are a fitting alternative because they are economically accessible. Extensive research has focused on developing nickel-based electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution. Theoretical and experimental work have addressed the elucidation of these electrochemical processes and the role of heteroatoms, structure, and morphology. Even though some works tend to be contradictory, they have lit up the path for the development of efficient nickel-based electrocatalysts. For these reasons, a review of recent progress is presented herein.

Abstract
Water electrolysis that results in green hydrogen is the key process towards a circular economy. The supply of sustainable electricity and availability of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts are the main bottlenecks of the process for large-scale production of green hydrogen. A broad range of OER electrocatalysts have been explored to decrease the overpotential and boost the kinetics of this sluggish half-reaction. Co-, Ni-, and Fe-based catalysts have been considered to be potential candidates to replace noble metals due to their tunable 3d electron configuration and spin state, versatility in terms of crystal and electronic structures, as well as abundance in nature. This Review provides some basic principles of water electrolysis, key aspects of OER, and significant criteria for the development of the catalysts. It provides also some insights on recent advances of Co-, Ni-, and Fe-based oxides and a brief perspective on green hydrogen production and the challenges of water electrolysis.

Abstract
Structure and interfacial properties are important factors that affect a spinel's adsorption performance. In this article, by changing the water content in a precursor during synthesis, the interfacial properties of normal and inverse spinels were tuned to improve Sb adsorption. The results showed that changing the water content did not alter the crystal structure of synthesized zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) and cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4), but it had a significant effect on the crystallite size and the number of surface hydroxyl groups. For normal spinel ZnFe2O4 and inverse spinel CoFe2O4, the crystallite size decreased while the surface hydroxyl groups increased when the water content gradually increased from 1 to 8 mL. Spinels with smaller crystallite size and more surface hydroxyl groups enhanced Sb adsorption. The adsorption capacity of ZnFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 for low concentrations of Sb(V) increased from 8.45 and 10.64 mg/g to 15.05 and 17.00 mg/g, respectively. This work has greatly improved the adsorption capacity of spinel materials through a simple tunable method and is expected to provide new ideas for the interfacial tuning of spinel materials, which shows great potential applications for wastewater treatment.

Abstract
To develop efficient catalysts is one of the major ways to solve the energy and environmental problems. Spinel ferrites, with the general chemical formula of MFe2O4 (where M = Mg2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Zn2+, Fe2+, Mn2+, etc.), have attracted considerable attention in catalytic research. The flexible position and valence variability of metal cations endow spinel ferrites with diverse physicochemical properties, such as abundant surface active sites, high catalytic activity and easy to be modified. Meanwhile, their unique advantages in regenerating and recycling on account of the magnetic performances facilitate their practical application potential. Herein, the conventional as well as green chemistry synthesis of spinel ferrites is reviewed. Most importantly, the critical pathways to improve the catalytic performance are discussed in detail, mainly covering selective doping, site substitution, structure reversal, defect introduction and coupled composites. Furthermore, the catalytic applications of spinel ferrites and their derivative composites are exclusively reviewed, including Fenton-type catalysis, photocatalysis, electrocatalysis and photoelectro-chemical catalysis. In addition, some vital remarks, including toxicity, recovery and reuse, are also covered. Future applications of spinel ferrites are envisioned focusing on environmental and energy issues, which will be pushed by the development of precise synthesis, skilled modification and advanced characterization along with emerging theoretical calculation.

Abstract
In this study, we mainly investigated the effects of trivalent Cr ion substitution on the properties of nickel ferrite (NCF) spinel-thin films. The as-prepared spinel thin films were characterized by thermogravimetry-differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) to comprehensively examine their phase transition. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the prepared films have a single-phase face-centered cubic crystal structure. A Raman study confirmed the arrangement of the inverse-cubic spinel structure of these spinel-thin films. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) images verified the slight agglomeration of particles. Similarly, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images together with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns supported the XRD results. PL spectra showed enhanced near band emission (NBE) intensity due to the passivation of oxygen vacancies by Cr3+ substitution. The DC electrical resistivity (ρ) increases from 1.4 × 10-6 Ω cm to 4.42 × 10-6 Ω cm at room temperature. Dielectric parameters were studied as a function of frequency in the range of 1-10 MHz at 300 K, and these parameters decreased with the increasing Cr3+ ion concentration in the spinel-thin films. The obtained results indicate the applicability of the fabricated thin films in high-frequency electronic devices.

Abstract
The commercialization of fuel cells, such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells and direct methanol/formic acid fuel cells, is hampered by their poor stability, high cost, fuel crossover, and the sluggish kinetics of platinum (Pt) and Pt-based electrocatalysts for both the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and the anodic hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) or small molecule oxidation reaction (SMOR). Thus far, the exploitation of active and stable electrocatalysts has been the most promising strategy to improve the performance of fuel cells. Accordingly, increasing attention is being devoted to modulating the surface/interface electronic structure of electrocatalysts and optimizing the adsorption energy of intermediate species by defect engineering to enhance their catalytic performance. Defect engineering is introduced in terms of defect definition, classification, characterization, construction, and understanding. Subsequently, the latest advances in defective electrocatalysts for ORR and HOR/SMOR in fuel cells are scientifically and systematically summarized. Furthermore, the structure-activity relationships between defect engineering and electrocatalytic ability are further illustrated by coupling experimental results and theoretical calculations. With a deeper understanding of these complex relationships, the integration of defective electrocatalysts into single fuel-cell systems is also discussed. Finally, the potential challenges and prospects of defective electrocatalysts are further proposed, covering controllable preparation, in situ characterization, and commercial applications.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective and highly efficient oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts based on earth-abundant elements is vital to hydrogen production from electrocatalytic water splitting. Herein, a three-dimensional and in situ-activated electrocatalyst derived from stainless steel is successfully fabricated via a two-step laser direct writing strategy. The electrocatalyst appears in the form of nanoparticle-stacked porous clusters on the multiscale stainless steel with irregular microcone arrays and microspheres, which exposes more active sites and facilitates the mass transport. Especially, the clusters undergoe a self-optimizing morphological and compositional reconfiguration induced by the leaching of Cr species under OER conditions for favorable charge transfer and enhanced intrinsic catalytic activity. As a result, the in situ-activated, Ni/Cr-doped Fe3O4 electrocatalyst exhibits an outstanding OER performance with a small overpotential of 262 mV to reach 10 mA cm-2, a low Tafel slope of 35.0 mV dec-1, and excellent long-term stability of 120 h, among the best spinel Fe-rich OER electrocatalysts. Finally, we also verify the feasibility of the affordable and efficient electrocatalyst coupled with the commercial Ni cathode in the practical water electrolysis. This work may open up a new avenue to design nanostructured metal oxides for various energy applications and beyond.

Abstract
Electrocatalysis is an efficient and promising means of energy conversion, with minimal environmental footprint. To enhance reaction rates, catalysts are required to minimize overpotential. Alternatives to noble metal electrocatalysts are essential to address these needs on a large scale. In this context, transition metal nitride (TMN) nanoparticles have attracted much attention owing to their high catalytic activity, distinctive electronic structures, and enhanced surface morphologies. Nickel-based materials are an ideal choice for electrocatalysts given nickel's abundance and low cost in comparison to noble metals. In this Minireview, advancements made specifically in Ni-based binary and ternary TMNs as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critically evaluated. When used as OER electrocatalysts, Ni-based nanomaterials with 3 D architectures on a suitable support (e.g., a foam support) speed up electron transfer as a result of well-oriented crystal structures and also assist intermediate diffusion, during reaction, of evolved gases. 2 D Ni-based nitride sheet materials synthesized without supports usually perform better than 3 D supported electrocatalysts. The focus of this Minireview is a systematic description of OER activity for state-of-the-art Ni-based nitrides as nanostructured electrocatalysts.

Abstract
Catalyzed oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction reactions (OER and ORR, respectively) are of particular significance in many energy conversion and storage processes. During the last decade, they emerged as potential routes to sustain the ever-growing needs of the future clean energy market. Unfortunately, the state-of-the-art OER and ORR electrocatalysts, which are based on noble metals, are noticeably limited by a generally high activity towards one type of reaction only, high costs and relatively low abundance. Therefore, the development of (bi)functional low-cost non-noble metal or metal-free electrocatalysts is expected to increase the practical energy density and drastically reduce the production costs. Owing to their pore properties and high surface areas, mesoporous materials show high activity towards electrochemical reactions. Among all synthesis methods available for the synthesis of non-noble mesoporous metal oxides, the hard-templating (or nanocasting) approach is one of the most attractive in terms of achieving variable morphology and porosity of the materials. In this review, we thus focus on the recent advances in the design, synthesis, characterization and efficiency of non-noble metal OER and ORR electrocatalysts obtained via the nanocasting route. Critical aspects of these materials and perspectives for future developments are also discussed.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of cost-effective and highperformance oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts for water splitting based on earth-abundant elements is urgent but challenging. A synergistic doping and architecture engineering strategy by nanosecond laser ablation is used to generate a unique kind of highly disordered Ni-doped Fe3 O4 nanoparticle clusters. Ni dopant and increased oxygen vacancies are simultaneously incorporated into Fe3 O4 frameworks and thereby modulate the electronic configuration for an optimal binding affinity towards OER intermediates. Nanoparticles with average size of around 5 nm assemble randomly during laser ablation and construct a fluffy and porous architecture, which not only optimizes the number of exposed active sites but also accelerates mass transfer. Consequently, Ni-doped Fe3 O4 clusters are revealed as a superior OER catalyst with a small overpotential of 272 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and a small Tafel slope of 39.4 mV dec-1 , surpassing almost all spinel Fe-based OER catalysts. This work provides a new strategy to fabricate advanced cation-doped metal oxide nanostructures for related energy applications.

Abstract
Mineral dissolution is a spontaneous process that takes indispensible role in the determination of water quality in a specific water body. Deep insights into defects as a result of characterization technique development have greatly improved our understanding of their significances and behaviors in the dissolution within the mineral-water interface. Based on the progresses from previous decades, this review attempts to re-elaborate the molecular-scale process of dissolution. Material flow within the mineral/water interface is updated, with emphasis on the function of defect sites. A brief introduction of defect properties is presented, including the microscopic appearances and typical physicochemical characteristics. Feasible strategies that have been adopted to increase the defect abundance are inferred, which maybe enlightening for hydrometallurgy. The merits and drawbacks of the techniques that could be employed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of defect presence are introduced, although relatively satisfactory performances are noted. With the aid of these techniques, it is concluded that screw dislocation is the main defect type responsible for surface topography evolution as a result of dissolution. Finally, this review identifies the current knowledge gaps and future research needs for comprehensively identifying the significance of defects in mineral dissolution.

Abstract
Spinel oxides have attracted widespread interest for electrocatalytic applications owing to their unique crystal structure and properties. The surface structure of spinel oxides significantly influences the electrocatalytic performance of spinel oxides. Herein, we report a Li reduction strategy that can quickly tune the surface structure of CoFe2O4 (CFO) nanoparticles and optimize its electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance. Results show that a large number of defective domains have been successfully introduced at the surface of CFO nanopowders after Li reduction treatment. The defective CFO nanoparticles demonstrate significantly improved electrocatalytic OER activity. The OER potential observed a negative shift from 1.605 to 1.513 V at 10 mA cm-2, whereas the Tafel slope is greatly decreased to 42.1 mV dec-1 after 4 wt % Li reduction treatment. This efficient Li reduction strategy can also be applied to engineer the surface defect structure of other material systems and broaden their applications.

Abstract
The oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) is a key process in water-splitting systems, fuel cells, and metal-air batteries, but the development of highly active and robust OER catalyst by simple methods is a great challenge. Here, we report an in situ dynamic surface self-reconstruction that can dramatically improve the catalytic activity of electrocatalysts. A fluoride (F-)-incorporating NiFe hydroxide (NiFe-OH-F) nanosheet array was initially grown on Ni foam by a one-step hydrothermal method, which requires a 243 mV over-potential (η) to achieve a 10 mA cm-2 current density with a Tafel slope of 42.9 mV dec-1 in alkaline media. After the surface self-reconstruction induced by fluoride leaching under OER conditions, the surface of NiFe-OH-F was converted into highly mesoporous and amorphous NiFe oxide hierarchical structure, and the OER activity at η = 220 mV increases over 58-fold. The corresponding η at 10 mA cm-2 decreases to 176 mV with an extreme low Tafel slope of 22.6 mV dec-1; this performance is superior to that of the state-of-the-art OER electrocatalysts.
