A novel two-dimensional nickel phthalocyanine-based metal–organic framework for highly efficient water oxidation catalysis

Abstract

For the first time, we report herein bottom-up fabrication of a conductive nickel phthalocyanine-based 2D MOF and use it as a highly active electrocatalyst for OER (overpotential < 250 mV) without further pyrolysis or adding conductive materials, which can facilitate the development of 2D MOFs for energy applications.
