Electrodeposited nanoporous Ni(OH)2@Ni film acts as a Janus electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution and oxygen evolution reaction, and overall water splitting, exhibiting superior activities and exceptional long-term stability. Theoretical calculations show that the synergistic electrocatalytic effects of Ni(OH)2 and Ni are responsible for the high activities.
