MoS 2 microspheres are directly grown on the conductive Ni foam and the as‐obtained MoS 2 ‐Ni electrodes exhibit highly efficient electrocatalytic performances for oxygen evolution in 1.0 m NaOH, displaying a rather low overpotential of 0.310 V at 20.0 mA cm −2 , a high current density, good cyclic stability, and excellent flexibility.
