A sea anemone-like CuO/Co3O4 composite: an effective catalyst for electrochemical water splitting†
Abstract
A facile unipolar pulse electrodeposition combined with the thermal oxidation method was applied for fabrication of CuO/Co3O4 composites on carbon electrode for water electrolysis, and it was found that the sea anemone-like one with a 3D hierarchical structure formed at −0.8 V exhibited excellent performance for water electrolysis at a low overpotential with high stability.
