Herein, we proposena novel hierarchical porous Ni–Co-mixed metal sulfide (denotednas NiCoS) on Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> MXene via a metal–organic framework (MOF)-based approach.nBenefiting from the unique structure and strong interfacial interactionnbetween NiCoS and Ti<sub>3</sub>C<sub>2</sub>T<sub><i>x</i></sub> sheets, the hybrid guarantees an enhanced active surface areanwith prominent charge-transfer conductivity and thus a superior activityntoward oxygen evolution reactions (OERs). Impressively, the hierarchicalnNiCoS in the hybrid is converted to nickel/cobalt oxyhydroxide–NiCoSnassembly (denoted as NiCoOOH–NiCoS) by OER measurement, wherenNiCoOOH on the surface is confirmed as the intrinsic active speciesnfor the consequent water oxidation. The hybrid material is furthernapplied to an air cathode for a rechargeable zinc–air battery,nwhich exhibits low charging/discharging overpotential and long-termnstability. Our work underscores the tuned structure and electrocatalyticnOER performance of MOF derivatives by the versatility of MXenes andnprovides insight into the structure–activity relationship fornnoble metal-free catalysts.","PeriodicalId":522889,"journal":{"name":"Figshare","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147905589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
