Anchoring CoFe₂O₄ Nanoparticles on N-Doped Carbon Nanofibers for High-Performance Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

ABSTRACT: The exploration of earth-abundant and high-efficiency electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great significant for sustainable energy conversion and storage applications. Although spinel-type binary transition metal oxides (AB₂O₄, A, B = metal) represent a class of promising candidates for water oxidation catalysis, their intrinsically inferior electrical conductivity exert remarkably negative impacts on their electrochemical performances. Herein, we demonstrates a feasible electrospinning approach to concurrently synthesize CoFe₂O₄ nanoparticles homogeneously embedded in 1D N-doped carbon nanofibers (denoted as CoFe₂O₄@N-CNFs). By integrating the catalytically active CoFe₂O₄ nan
