Defect-driven accelerated structural transformation from metal–organic frameworks: a boost for the oxygen evolution reaction
The development of efficient oxygen evolution electrocatalysts is pivotal for green hydrogen production, a cornerstone of achieving a zero-carbon society. Herein, we demonstrate a defect engineering strategy to boost the OER performance by facilitating <i>in situ</i> structural transformation from metal-organic frameworks to oxygen vacancy-rich metal oxyhydroxides as catalytically active sites, achieving an ultralow overpotential of 266 mV at 100 mA cm<sup>-2</sup> and exceptional operational stability even under alkaline seawater conditions.
