Abstract
at the same potential bias. The remarkably higher current density after doping indicates an accelerated GOR, which is ascribed to the electronic structure modulation of the Fe nodes by Cu, thereby enhancing the active sites and charge transport characteristics of the frameworks. Most importantly, the MOF-based electrodes demonstrate the occurrence of the GOR prior to the OER at a large potential difference, hence assisting the energy-efficient water splitting for green hydrogen production.
