[Display omitted] It is a highly desired yet challenging task to replace rare and expensive noble metal catalysts with inexpensive and earth-abundant metal ones in electrochemical sustainable chemistry field. Herein, the bimetallic zinc-cobalt layered double hydroxide nanosheets (ZnCo-LDH NS) have b...
