A novel heterogeneous Co3O4/Co(OH)2 hybrid is prepared using a controllable facile one-pot hydrothermal reaction. The as-obtained hierarchical Co3O4/Co(OH)2 hybrids can serve as highly efficient electrocatalytic water oxidation catalysts for alkaline electrolytes.
X-ray absorption studies of the geometric and electronic structure of primarily heterogeneous Co, Ni, and Mn based water oxidation catalysts are reviewed.
A complex of hierarchically structured hydroxides with oxygen-decorated graphene/carbon nanotube hybrids was fabricated through defect-anchored nucleation andin situgrowth towards superior reactivity for oxygen evolution.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was produced from water and dioxygen using a Ru-complex photocatalyst and water oxidation catalysts of metal-containing nanoparticles produced in situ under visible light irradiation.
