Representative work: Hydroxide ion (OH–) adsorption process is critical for accelerating the half-reactions of both metal–air batteries and direct methanol fuel cells in alkaline media. This study designs a rational catalyst/cocatalyst by constructing the readily available OH–adsorption sites to boost oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and methanol oxidation reaction (MOR). Cobalt selenide-coated nickel selenide nanorods are in situ grown on nickel foam to obtain CoSe/NiSe-nrs/NF via a one-pot solvothermal synthesis route. CoSe-0.2/NiSe-nrs/NF (Co/Ni molar ratio of 0.26) exhibits an excellent OER activity(an overpotential of 310 mV at 100 mA
