• The NiFe LDH/Ti3C2Tx-rGO catalyst exhibits 235mV overpotential at 10 mA cm-2, and its Tafel slope is only 40 mV dec-1. • The non-precious hybrid support catalysts exhibit high specific surface area that benefit to the electrochemical activity. • NiFe LDH/Ti3C2Tx-rGO exhibits an extremely stable with only a 6mV potential decreasing after 30000s test. A non-precious metal electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction （OER）is achieved by synergistically coupling layered double hydroxides (LDH) and hybrid supports(reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Ti 3 C 2 T x -MXene). The NiFe LDH/Ti 3 C 2 T x -rGO catalyst exhibits superior activity with a promising low overpotential of 235 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2 in alkaline medium. The strong interfacial interaction and electronic coupling with prominent charge-transfer between the NiFe LDH and Ti 3 C 2 T x is identified, which not only improves the conductivity and stability and of the hybrids, but also greatly accelerates the redox process of NiFe LDH for OER.
