摘要
Ag-doped cobalt oxide (Co3O4) nanorods were successfully synthesized using hydrothermal route at 90, 120, 150, and 180 degrees C. The face-centered cubic structure of Co3O4 was confirmed through X-ray diffraction pattern. A well-defined Raman active mode of vibrations (E-g + F-2g + A(1g)) revealed the cubic Co3O4 formation. The morphology of Ag-doped Co3O4 nanorods was revealed from scanning electron microscopy images. High specific capacitance of 584 F/g at scan rate of 5 mV/s was obtained for the product synthesized at 150 degrees C. The improved oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for the synthesized materials was observed using linear sweep voltammogram, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and chronoamperometry. The obtained Ag-Co3O4 nanomaterials have more possibility to be adapted as OER catalyst for water splitting application. (C) 2017 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
