Probing the Crystal Plane Effect of Co3O4 for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Performance toward Efficient Overall Water Splitting

Abstract: Identifying effective methods to enhance the properties of catalysts is urgent to broaden the scanty technologies, so far. Herein, we synthesized four CoO crystals with different crystal planes and explored the crystal planes' effects on electrochemical water splitting through theoretical and experimental studies for the first time. The results illustrate that the correlation of catalytic activity is established as {111} > {112} > {110} > {001}. CoO crystals exposed with {111} facets show the highest OER (oxyg… Show more

“…Co 3 O 4 , Co x N, and Co x P were synthesized using a hydrothermal method (see Section 4), as reported in the literature. [ 20–22 ] The crystalline structure of pristine samples was identified by X‐ray diffraction (XRD). As shown in Figure S1, Supporting Information, XRD pattern of the pristine Co 3 O 4 was in good agreement with the PDF card #43‐1003, while the diffraction peaks of the pristine Co x N and Co x P shifted toward lower and higher angles than the stoichiometric Co 2 N and CoP, respectively, indicating the presence of non‐stoichiometric composition.…”

“…Therefore, the modulation of exposed crystal planes of 3D iron phosphate crystal is unable to achieve in spite of the important role of crystal planes in regulating electrocatalysis activity toward water oxidation. For examples, spinel Co 3 O 4 nanosheets, nanocubes, and nanopolyhedrons with different exposure crystal planes can be developed by controlling the synthetic procedure and condition . Particularly, Fe 2 O 3 with predominantly {110} facets and BiVO 4 polyhedrons with specific high‐index planes also exhibit excellent water oxidation activity .…”
