In this study, we synthesized sphere-like Co@Ni-MOF-X and Ni-MOF samples via a hydrothermal approach using 1,4-dicarboxylic acid as the organic source. Surface morphology and XRD patterns of the sphere-like Co@Ni-MOF-X and Ni-MOF samples were examined to confirm their crystallographic structure, phase purity, and morphology of as synthesized MOFs. Subsequently, modified electrodes using the sphere-like Co@Ni-MOF-X and Ni-MOF samples were subjected to electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) to assess their charge transfer resistance (R<sub>ct</sub>) and OER performance in alkaline media. The Co@Ni-MOF-2 (317 mV) and Co@Ni-MOF-3 (293 mV) samples exhibited promising OER performance at a scan rate of 10 mV s<sup>−1</sup>. Additionally, the Co@Ni-MOF-2 and Co@Ni-MOF-3 samples showed Tafel plot values of 140 and 168 mV dec<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. Furthermore, Co@Ni-MOF-2 demonstrated good stability performance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16811,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics and Chemistry of Solids","volume":"207 ","pages":"Article 112918"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144242649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
