Figure S6. IR-corrected LSV curves for holey FeNiP/graphene based catalysts after the
electrochemical active surface area normalization for OER (a) and HER (b). The specific
capacitance was converted into an electrochemical active surface area (ECSA) by the
methods reported by Li’s group (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2018, 140, 5241-5247.). The
specific capacitance for a flat surface is assumed to 40 μF cm-2. The ECSA of FeNiP/PG,
FeNiP/GC/PG and FeNiP/RGO for OER are 96.7 cm2 mg-1, 100.8 cm2 mg-1 and 70.3
cm2 mg-1, respectively. The ECSA of FeNiP/PG, FeNiP/GC/PG and FeNiP/RGO for
OER are 163.4 cm2 mg-1, 122.3 cm2 mg-1 and 91.5 cm2 mg-1 respectively.
