Designing the specific crystal phase with better intrinsic activity and more active sites is a very promising strategy for earth-abundant electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, a facile two-step method including the high-pressure microwave and the hydrothermal sulfurization is...
