A novel NiMoO₄ NWs@ZnCo MOF (NWs=nanowires) was successfully synthesized by making a layer of ZnCo metal-organic framework (MOF) nanocrystals in situ grown on the NiMoO₄ NWs by liquid phase synthesis and then it was heat-treated at 350 ℃ (named NiMoO₄ NWs@ZnCo MOF(350)). It was found that the structure and morphology of the precursor were still well maintained after heat treatment, but a very small amount of Co₃O₄ phase appeared in ZnCo MOF, indicating that slight pyrolysis occurred. Chemical bonds C—O—Mo and a large number of oxygen vacancies generated at the phase heterointerfaces can become the source of active sites. The formation of a new Co₃O₄ phase also leads to a further increase in the heterophase interfaces. Furthermore, a little pyrolysis made the surface of the core-shell structure more coarse, loose, and porous, producing a higher specific surface area, faster ionic diffusion path, and better electrical conductivity. Therefore, according to the inert glassy carbon electrode test, the electrocatalyst exhibited a low overpotential of 360 mV at the current density of 10 mA·cm^-2 and maintained long-term catalytic stability of 30 000 s.
