Co3+-O-V4+ cluster in CoVOx nanorods for efficient and stable electrochemical oxygen evolution

Oxygen Isotopes in Co3 Chondrites

Introduction: The results of a number of studies seem to indicate that CO3 chondrites can be subdivided into a metamorphic series analogous to that seen in ordinary chondrites [1,2,3]. It has been suggested that this sequence is the result of hydrothermal alteration on the CO parent body [4]. One particularly intriguing feature of CO3 chondrites is the reported general correlation between whole...

Stable and Efficient Light-Emitting Electrochemical Cells

Three new heteroleptic iridium complexes that combine two approaches, one leading to a high stability and the other yielding a high luminescence efficiency, are presented. All complexes contain a phenyl group at the 6-position of the neutral bpy ligand, which holds an additional, increasingly bulky substituent on the 4-position. The phenyl group allows for intramolecular π–π stacking, which ren...

Structural, magnetic and dielectric properties of pure and Dy-doped Co3O4 nanostructures for the electrochemical evolution of oxygen in alkaline media

In this study, spinel-type cobalt oxide (Co3O4) and Co3-xDyxO4 (x = 0.04 and 0.05 molar ratio) nanoparticles were synthesized via combustion method at 700 °C. Crystallite nature, phase purity and thermal analysis of the prepared compounds were investigated by PXRD, FT-IR and TGA techniques. Structural analyses were performed by the FullProf program employing profile matching with constant scale...

Plasma-Engraved Co3 O4 Nanosheets with Oxygen Vacancies and High Surface Area for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction.

Co3 O4 , which is of mixed valences Co(2+) and Co(3+) , has been extensively investigated as an efficient electrocatalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The proper control of Co(2+) /Co(3+) ratio in Co3 O4 could lead to modifications on its electronic and thus catalytic properties. Herein, we designed an efficient Co3 O4 -based OER electrocatalyst by a plasma-engraving strategy, which...
