Abstract

Surfactant-free mixed-metal hydroxide water oxidation nanocatalysts were synthesized by pulsed-laser ablation in liquids. In a series of [Ni-Fe]-layered double hydroxides with intercalated nitrate and water, [Ni_(1–x)Fe_x(OH)_2](NO_3)_y(OH)_(x−y)·nH_2O, higher activity was observed as the amount of Fe decreased to 22%. Addition of Ti^(4+) and La^(3+) ions further enhanced electrocatalysis, with a lowest overpotential of 260 mV at 10 mA cm^(–2). Electrocatalytic water oxidation activity increased with the relative proportion of a 405.1 eV N 1s (XPS binding energy) species in the nanosheets.
