Popis: The confined growth of ZIF-67 (ZIF = zeolitic imidazolate framework) on α-Co(OH)2 nanosheets has been successfully achieved. The interface coupling in α-Co(OH)2/ZIF-67 would regulate the electrochemical environment of cobalt at the interface and expose more active sites. As a result, the optimal α-Co(OH)2/ZIF-67-0.6 catalyst exhibits higher activity (η10 = 320 mV), fast kinetics (Tafel slope of 109.3 mV dec−1), and excellent durability after continuous operation for 24 h.
