Recently, the introduction of external fields(light, thermal, magnetism, etc.) during electrocatalysis reactions gradually becomes a new strategy to modulate the catalytic activities. In this work, an external magnetic field was innovatively employed for the synthesis progress of(Ni, Zn)Fe2O4spinel oxide(M-(Ni, Zn)Fe2O4). Results indicated the magnetic field(≤250 m T) would affect the morphology of catalyst due to the existing Fe ions, inducing the M-(Ni, Zn)Fe2O4nanosphere particles to be uniform and coral-like nanorods. In addition, the electronic structure of the catalyst was regulated by the valence state of Fe, changing the bonding of metal to oxygen atoms in different spinel sites. The results manifested that the M-(Ni, Zn)Fe2O4requires a lower overpotential of only 67m V to deliver 10 m A cm-2for hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) in alkaline electrolyte. Moreover, M-(Ni, Zn)Fe2O4respectively as the anode and cathode electrode for the overall water splitting, the catalysis system requires a cell voltage of only 1.76 V to gain a current density of 50 m A cm-2, combining with an excellent discharging stability after 10 h. This work provides a facile synthesis strategy toward the design of efficient non-noble metal catalysts for alkaline HER and overall water splitting.
