Abstract

Self-supporting ultrathin FeNi-layered double hydroxide nanosheet arrays with atomically dispersed Cr atoms were firstly fabricated from stainless steel mesh by a facile ligand-assisted capping growth approach. Their unique nanostructure and a strong synergetic effect between the atomically dispersed Cr dopants and the active sites afford an exceptional OER activity.
