One-pot Synthesis of a Novel 3D CuO Microstructure with Excellent Electrochemical Hydrogen Capacity

摘要

A novel flocculus-like CuO microstructure exhibiting excellent electrochemical hydrogen capacity of 210 mAh/g were fabricated using Cu(OH)_2 as precursor. By altering the initial concentration of NaOH, novel butter-like and flower-like CuO microstructures without electrochemical hydrogen capacity were also obtained. Field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM) and X-ray power diffraction (XRD) were characterized the as-obtained products. The dosage of NaOH plays a vital role in controlling the morphology, which affects electrochemical hydrogen capacity of final products.
