Graphical Abstract
  • CoNiFe-GO were fabricated without any additives directly on the nickel foam substrate. A significant improvement of the OER activity was observed after combining NiFe with GO (OER overpotential η(10 mA·cm−2): 210 mV) compared to NiFe (η: 235 mV) and GO (η: 320 mV) alone. A different OER activity was

This, in turn, significantly affects the final structure and electrocatalytic performance of the electrode. Therefore, in this work, the

The effects of the addition of GO to NiFe and CoNiFe on their morphological, structural, and OER electrocatalytic properties were studied.
