We demonstrate a bio-inspired three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical catalyst, based on the Fe-doped nanoarrays of dendritic nickel trees, which provides large surface area, close to optimal electron transport, and large inter-branch open-channels for improving gas-bubble release, outperforming the benchmark catalyst of noble RuO2.

Modern optoelectronics needs development of new materials characterized not only by high optical transparency and electrical conductivity, but also by mechanical strength, and flexibility. Recent advances employ grids of metallic micro- and nanowires, but the overall performance of the resulting material composites remains unsatisfactory. In this work, we propose a new strategy: application of natural scaffoldings perfected by evolution.
