Synthesis and Characterization of Ordered Cobalt Phosphide Nanowire Arrays As a Potential Catalyst for HER/Oer Reactions

摘要

Nowadays, increased interest in the field of nano-scale materials is observed. Knowledge about the physicochemical properties of nano-objects is desirable since they exhibit completely different properties than their macroscopic counterparts. The greatest advantage of nanomaterials is their developed specific surface area. This feature is useful in many fields of science, e.g., catalysis, that uses a large number of active centers (resulting from the developed surface), as well as modifications of the electronic structure of nanoparticles that change their redox properties.
