Abstract
In the present study, we present a facile strategy to synthesis Co3O4 materials with different morphology. Experimental results show that Co3O4 materials with flower-like, fiber, sheet-like and rod morphologies have been successfully prepared by hydrothermal synthesis in different solvent. The effect of the morphology on the electrochemical catalytic properties were also studied. It is found that sheet-like Co3O4 exhibits the best activity towards oxygen evolution reaction (η10 = 390 mV) in 1 M KOH, which can be attribute to its short electrolyte infiltration diffusion path lengths and low charge transfer resistant. LSV curves measured at 5 mV/s in 1 M KOH solution for OER, the inset image is FE-SEM image of prepared Co3O4 materials. a Flower, b fiber, c sheet and d rod.
