[Journal cover design.81]Three-Dimensional Honeycomb-Like Cu0.81Co2.19O4 Nanosheet Arrays Supported by Ni Foam and Their High Efficiency as Oxygen Evolution Electrodes

Journal cover design

We have developed three-dimensional honeycomb-like Cu0.81Co2.19O4 nanosheet arrays supported by Ni foam using electrochemical codeposition of cobalt and copper hydroxides followed by thermal oxidation. The inclusion of copper during codeposition alters the morphology of the cobalt hydroxide, resulting in honeycomb-like nanostructures and significantly lowering the onset potential for oxygen evolution. The Cu0.81Co2.19O4 anode shows an exceptionally low overpotential of 290 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm–2 in 1 M KOH. Additionally, an anion-exchange membrane water electrolysis cell utilizing this anode achieves a current density of 100 mA cm–2 at 1.68 V in 0.1 M KOH. – Journal cover design by scapiens
