摘　　要：Rational design and controlled fabrication of efficient and cost-effective electrodes for the oxygen evolution reaction （OER） are critical for addressing the unpre- cedented energy crisis. Nickel-iron layered double hydroxides （NiFe-LDHs） with specific interlayer anions （i.e. phosphate, phosphite, and hypophosphite） were fabricated by a co-predpitation method and investigated as oxygen evolution electrocatalysts. Intercalation of the phosphorus oxoanion enhanced the OER activity in an alkaline solution; the optimal performance （i.e., a low onset potential of 215 mV, a small Tafel slope of 37.7 mV/dec, and stable electrochemical behavior） was achieved with the hypophosphite-intercalated NiFe-LDH catalyst, demonstrating dramatic enhancement over the traditional carbonate-intercalated NiFe-LDH in terms of activity and durability. This enhanced performance is attributed to the interaction between the intercalated phosphorous oxoanions and the edge-sharing MO6 （M = Ni, Fe） layers, which modifies the surface electronic structure of the Ni sites. This concept should be inspiring for the design of more effective LDH-based oxygen evolution electrocatalvsts.Rational design and controlled fabrication of efficient and cost-effective electrodes for the oxygen evolution reaction （OER） are critical for addressing the unpre- cedented energy crisis.
