Summary: A method involving oxygen plasma exfoliation of layered double hydroxide (LDH) sheets was introduced to enhance the electronic conductivity and catalytic performance of NiFe-LDH, making it more efficient for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The catalyst NiFe-OOHOV exhibited superior OER activity with a low overpotential and high current density, along with excellent long-term stability and high faradaic efficiency for O-2 production.

Summary: Recent boom in scientific and technological activities related to 2D heterostructures is attributed to customized spatial orientation and tailored physical properties. The construction of 2D heterostructures, mainly using mechanical exfoliation and located transfer method, has opened up possibilities for designing novel hybrid systems with tuned structures and properties. Among these, graphene and h-BN heterostructures have received the most attention, with emphasis on controllable synthesis, property investigation, and application expansion. Additionally, the in situ CVD fabrication method has shown significant potential in controlling size, morphology, and quality of the heterostructures.
