Highly hydrophilic and surface defect-rich MOF-74-PA15 obtained by phytic acid etching as a robust catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction

By etching with phytic acid, MOF-74-PA15 with high hydrophilicity, surface defect-rich and excellent electronic structure was obtained. It exhibits outstanding OER catalytic activity with an overpotential of 250 mV at 100 mAcm −2 .
