Selenide‐based electrocatalysts and scaffolds on carbon cloth are successfully fabricated and demonstrated for enhanced water oxidation applications. A maximum current density of 97.5 mA cm −2 at an overpotential of a mere 300 mV and a small Tafel slope of 77 mV dec −1 are achieved, suggesting the potential of these materials to serve as advanced oxygen evolution reaction catalysts.
