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

Article Preview

Abstract:

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.
