Abstract Although researches on non-noble metal electrocatalysts have been made some progress recently, their performance in proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEMWE) is still incomparable to that of noble-metal-based catalysts. Therefore, it is a more practical way to improve the utilization of precious metals in electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in the acidic medium. Herein, nanostructured IrCo@IrCoOx core-shell electrocatalysts composed of IrCo alloy core and IrCoOx shell were synthesized through a simple colloidally synthesis and calcination method. As expected, the hybrid IrCo-200 NPs with petal-like morphology show the best OER activities in acidic electrolytes. They deliver lower overpotential and better electrocatalytic kinetics than pristine IrCo alloy and commercial Ir/C, reaching a low overpotential (j = 10 mA/cm2) of 259 mV (vs. RHE) and a Tafel slope of 59 mV dec−1. The IrCo-200 NPs displayed robust durability with life time of about 55 h in acidic solution under a large current density of 50 mA/cm2. The enhanced electrocatalytic activity may be associated with the unique metal/amorphous metal oxide core-shell heterostructure, allowing the improved charge transferability. Moreover, the *OH-rich amorphous shell functions as the active site for OER and prevents the further dissolution of the metallic core and thus ensures high stability.

Developing efficient and low-cost replacements for noble metals as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remain a great challenge. Herein, we report a needle-like cobalt carbonate hydroxide hydrate (Co(CO3)0.5OH·0.11H2O) nanoarrays, which in situ grown on the surface of carbon cloth through a facile one-step hydrothermal method. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) characterizations demonstrate that the Co(CO3)0.5OH nanoarrays with high porosity is composed of numerous one-dimensional (1D) nanoneedles. Owing to unique needle-like array structure and abundant exposed active sites, the Co(CO3)0.5OH@CC only requires 317 mV of overpotential to reach a current density of 10 mA cm−2, which is much lower than those of Co(OH)2@CC (378 mV), CoCO3@CC (465 mV) and RuO2@CC (380 mV). For the stability, there is no significant attenuation of current density after continuous operation 27 h. This work paves a facile way to the design and construction of electrocatalysts for the OER.
