Abstract
Two-dimensional ultrathin nickel hydroxide nanosheets with large surface area and excellent electronic properties have been considered as promising electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, we report a facile microwave synthetic strategy to prepare ultrathin nickel hydroxide nanosheets with thickness <1 nm. In addition, varying the iron incorporation into the parent nickel hydroxide nanosheets allows us to synthesize a series of Ni1
