Ni3FeN Nanoparticles Derived from Ultrathin NiFe‐Layered Double Hydroxide Nanosheets: An Efficient Overall Water Splitting Electrocatalyst
Abstract
Ni3FeN nanoparticles with a particle size of ≈100 nm and a thickness of ≈9 nm are successfully synthesized by thermal ammonolysis of ultrathin NiFe-layered double hydroxide ultrathin nanosheets. The Ni3FeN nanoparticles exhibit excellent catalytic performance and high stability in electrochemical overall water splitting.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
