Abstract
. The high performance of NiIILSEt might be attributed to its high surface area and thus abundant active sites with the observed low charge-transfer resistance enabling the effective current flow through the electrocatalyst. Square-planar coordination geometry and increment in Ni oxidation state are believed to favor its OER performance. Beside high activity towards OER, NiIILSEt demonstrated excellent long-term stability with continuous operation, advocating its possible application in commercial systems.
