The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a vital proton donor for various clean energy technologies. Here, we synthesized IrOx-decorated ultrathin NiFe-LDH nanosheets (thickness 1-2 nm) by a one-step co-precipitation method. The IrOx was uniformly dispersed on the surface of ultrathin NiFe-LDH nanosheets, greatly increasing the active sites and the electric conductivity for NiFe-LDH. As a result, the IrOx/U-NiFe-LDH exhibited excellent OER performance with a low overpotential (236 mV) and a Tafel slope (74.3 mA dec-1).
