In-situ grown ternary metal hydroxides@3D oriented crumpled V₂C MXene sheets for improved electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction by Iqbal, Anum

“…In essence, this study features a facile approach for the confined growth of multi transition metal hydroxides in the presence of morphologically unique 3D crumpled V₂C MXene architectures. Consequently, the increased OER reaction kinetics and improved stability of the synthesized composites are potentially due to synergistic interplay between well dispersed active sites and the conductive substrate.…”
