摘要：
A stable and durable electrochemical water oxidation catalyst based on CoO functionalized ZnO nanorods (NRs) is introduced. ZnO NRs were grown on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) by using a low-temperature chemical solution method and were functionalized with cobalt oxide by electrochemical deposition. The electrochemical water oxidation performance of cobalt oxide functionalized ZnO NRs was studied under alkaline (pH = 10) conditions. From these studies, it is noticed that cobalt oxide functionalized ZnO NRs show electrocatalytic activity toward water oxidation with current density on the order of several mA cm(-2). Further, 30 s CoO deposited ZnO nanorods exhibited excellent galvanostatic stability at a current density of 1 mA cm(2) and potentiostatic stability at 1.25 V vs Ag/AgCl over an electrolysis period of 1 h.
