Anodic activation-mediated formation of crystalline-amorphous heterojunction of CoNi(O)OH for improved urea oxidation activity
Key Points
The aim is to enhance urea oxidation reaction efficiency through the creation of a crystalline-amorphous heterojunction in CoNi(O)OH.
Developed CoNi(O)OH via anodic activation.
Analyzed the structural characteristics of the formed heterojunction.
Evaluated the urea oxidation performance using electrochemical tests.
The crystalline-amorphous heterojunction significantly enhanced urea oxidation activity.
Achieved a notable increase in electrochemical performance measurements compared to traditional catalysts.
Abstract
Urea oxidation reaction (UOR) has been proposed as an alternative to anodic oxygen evolution for an improved cell voltage and cost-effective H2 production by water electrolysis. However, the progress in...
