Electrocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen and oxygen generation provides an attractive path to obtain clean energy, but the half reaction of oxygen evolution remains the bottleneck for the progress. Here, the authors show single atom tungsten doped ultrathin α-Ni(OH)2 exhibits enhanced performance in electrocatalytic water oxidation.
