The demand for clean energy sources has driven focus towards advanced electrochemical systems. However, the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) constrain the energy conversion efficiency of relevant devices. Herein, a one-step method is reported to grow oxygen vacancies (V) rich NiFeAg layered double hydroxides nanoclusters on carbon cloth (V-NiFeAg-LDH/CC) for serving as the self-supporting electrode to catalyze OER.

Diels-Alder (DA) chemistry or reversible exchange boronic ester bonds have been employed to fabricate recycled polymers with covalent adaptable networks (CANs). Herein, a novel type of CANs with multiple dynamic linkers (DA chemistry and boronic ester bonds) was firstly constructed based on a linear copolymer of styrene and furfuryl methacrylate and boronic ester crosslinker.
