Briefly, NiFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) is accurately doped with only 2.98 at. % sulfur which influences crystal oxygen, showing great enhancement on both kinetics and stability. Careful characterizations disclose that the main skeleton of NiFe-LDH is highly retained while the sulfur doping induces specific vacancies of lattice oxygen (O_Vs), which confirms structural integrity as well as reasonably activated electrocatalytic sites. As a result, this unique electrocatalyst (NiFe-Ni@S) displays boosted performance of OER, showing superior performance and durability to commercial noble-metal-based electrocatalysts. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations indicate that the introduction of sulfur can mediate the optimization of vacancies and rationally tune the adsorption energy of O₂-containing intermediates.

In previous studies, we synthesized bilayer nanocomposite hydrogels incorporating dopamine-modified nanoparticles, achieving outstanding compress strength (10.86 MPa) and excellent lubrication capabilities (μ = 0.01) under high load (9 MPa). Although various experimental techniques are currently to measure the tensile strength of high water-content hydrogels and their surface strain state under shear conditions, establishing material models based on experimental data can reduce errors caused by compositional differences. It also serves as an effective approach to predict the mechanical behavior of materials. We employed ABAQUS finite element analysis (FEA) to simulate the mechanical behavior of bilayer nanocomposite hydrogels under compression and shear loads, revealing a strong strain dependency. The mechanical behavior of hydrogels can be described by Mooney-Rivlin under small deformations (strain &lt;30 %), whereas Ogden-3 models more consistent with its stress variation trend under large deformations. Moreover, the enhanced anti-shear deformation lag of the surface-layer hydrogel contributes to reduced friction loss energy, facilitating the formation of a stable hydration layer on its surface, and thus maintain a low and stable friction coefficient (μ ∼ 0.01).
