Ultrathin amorphous α-Co(OH)2 nanosheets grown on Ag nanowire surfaces as a highly active and durable electrocatalyst for oxygen evolution reaction.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ultrathin α-Co(OH)2 nanosheets, prepared via simple hydrolysis at room temperature, were directly grown on Ag nanowires. The catalyst exhibited improved activity for the oxygen evolution reaction, with a reduced onset overpotential (220 mV) and superior durability because of the enhanced electron conductivity and stability of Ag nanowires in alkaline media.
