الملخص:<p dir="ltr">Water splitting is considered as one of the key reactions in energy conversion and storage. In this context, development of low-cost durable electrocatalysts for water splitting, in particular, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of utmost importance. Herein, we report the synthesis of Co-based selenides, i.e., Co-Se, NiCo-Se, FeCo-Se and MoCo-Se via the synthesis of hybrid MOF nanostructures, followed by hydrothermal process. Among them, CoMo-Se exhibited superior electrocatalytic activity towards OER in 1 M KOH solution compared to other catalyst and benchmark IrO<sub>2</sub>. For example, it exhibited an overpotential (η<sub>10</sub>) of 268 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm<sup>−2</sup>, whereas the recorded values for CoFe-Se, CoNi-Se, Co-Se and IrO<sub>2</sub> were 312, 346, 374 and 311 mV, respectively at the same current density. In the same context, CoMo-Se revealed a Tafel slope of 55.6 mV decade<sup>−1</sup>, while the calculated values for CoFe-Se, CoNi-Se, Co-Se and IrO<sub>2</sub> were 60.4, 97.9, 85.4 and 81.6 mV decade<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. The superior catalytic performance of CoMo-Se was attributed to its unique porous architecture with high electrochemical active surface area (ECSA), enhanced electrical conductivity, high value of double layer capacitance (Cdl) and the high content of Co<sup>3+</sup>. This work provides a feasible route for designing MOF-derived bimetallic selenides for the energy conversion and storage applications.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: Applied Surface Science<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2025.162479" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.apsusc.2025.162479</a></p>
