Engineering surface atomic structure of single-crystal cobalt (II) oxide nanorods for superior electrocatalysis

Surface structure manipulation can manipulate the activity and durability of catalysts. Here, the authors report a series of one-dimensional single crystal cobalt oxide nanorods, and show that surface oxygen vacancy formation modifies electronic and adsorption properties leading to enhanced electroc...
