Hollow Starlike Ag/CoMo-LDH Heterojunction with a Tunable d-Band Center for Boosting Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysis.

It is a challenging task to utilize efficient electrocatalytic metal hydroxide-based materials for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in order to produce clean hydrogen energy through water splitting, primarily due to the restricted availability of active sites and the undesirably high adsorption energies of oxygenated species. To address these challenges simultaneously, we intentionally engineer a hollow star-shaped Ag/CoMo-LDH heterostructure as a highly efficient electrocatalytic system. This design incorporates a considerable number of heterointerfaces between evenly dispersed Ag nanoparticles and CoMo-LDH nanosheets.
