摘要
The liquid exfoliation of hydrotalcite-like alpha-Co(OH)(2) in formamide produced a new pink beta-form of Co(OH)(2) nanosheets [Ex-NS-Co(OH)(2)] with unique nanoscopic properties: a larger surface area of active hydroxides and a much narrower oxidation-reduction potential for the Co2+ ions in the hydroxide layer than those of the bulk alpha-Co(OH)(2). These unprecedented properties of Ex-NS-Co(OH)(2) were applied to the topochemical synthesis of crystalline Co3O4 nanocubes (NCs) with clear edges and no impurity phases from an aqueous solution of Co2+ ions at 70 degrees C. A Co3O4 NC/C catalyst exhibited good catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and higher stability under a continuous electrochemical operation than that of commercial Pt/C.
