Ni foam electrode solution impregnated with Ni-Fe (OH) catalysts for efficient oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline electrolyzers.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a demanding step within the water splitting process for its requirement of a high overpotential. Thus, to overcome this unfavourable kinetics, an efficient catalyst is required to expedite the process. In this context, we report on Ni foam functionalised with low cost iron (Fe) and iron hydroxide (Fe(OH) ), wet chemically synthesized as OER catalysts.
