A multi-interfacial FeOOH@NiCoO heterojunction as a highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for overall water splitting.

Electrocatalytic water decomposition is the key to sustainable energy, and the design and synthesis of cost-effective electrocatalysts is the main objective of electrocatalytic water splitting. In this paper, multi-interfacial FeOOH@NiCo2O4 hybrid nanoflowers are prepared through a two-step hydrothermal reaction. In such heterostructures, NiCo2O4 nanoflowers are coated with a layer of FeOOH nanoparticles.
