A general electrocatalyst design for water splitting through generating oxygen vacancies in bimetallic layered double hydroxides by using carbon nitride is proposed. The excellent OER activity of the achieved bimetallic layered double hydroxides is attributed to oxygen vacancies, which reduce the energy barrier of the rate-determining step.
