DFT calculation. Mechanism of OER on (a) W-doped Ni(OH)2 and (b) bare Ni(OH)2catalyst based on DFT calculations, in which red, white, green, and blue atoms represent the oxygen, hydrogen, nickel, and tungsten atoms, respectively. Note that the symbols of “ + ” and “−” represent endothermic and exothermic free energy. For the step from State 6 to State 1, 1.0 eV, and 0.4 eV endothermic free energy values were required for the doped and bare samples, respectively, where these free energy changes are not shown above
