Triggering Oxygen Redox Cycles in Nickel Ferrite by Octahedral Geometry Engineering for Enhancing Oxygen Evolution by Yang Peng, Xu Zhao, Yiqun Shao, Xin Yue, Zhuofeng Hu, Shaoming Huang

“…As a result, as‐synthesized d‐NiFeHRO/IF exhibits excellent activity (at 295 mV overpotential to achieve 100 mA cm−2), fast kinetics (Tafel slope of only 34.6 mV dec−1), and high stability (maintaining a current density of 100 mA cm−2 over 130 h) for the OER. The theoretical calculations reveal that the construction of octahedral defect in NixFe3‐xO4 enhances the overlap of Fe‐d and O‐p orbitals, which can activate the lattice oxygen. …”
