Duke team develops new core-shell copper nanowire catalyst for efficient water oxidation for solar fuels
Green Car Congress
OCTOBER 25, 2013
A transparent film of copper nanowires was transformed into an electrocatalyst for water oxidation by electrodeposition of Ni or Co onto the surface of the nanowires. Water oxidation (2H 2 O → O 2 + 4 e- + 4H + ) is a key step for converting solar energy into chemical fuels. Chen et al. Click to enlarge. A team led by Benjamin J.
