Why is it important?
This work verifies the contribution of surface roughness and an active surface to the electrochemical oxidation of water by the design of an optimum micro/nano Co3O4 electrocatalyst. Our current understanding of the catalytic role of a specific micro/nano structure is also strengthened.
Perspectives
This work provides a facile way to roughen the surface of electrocatalysts grown on a substrate to enhance the OER activity. Our ndings give a further insight into the catalytic behavior of micro/nano structured catalysts and the mechanism of enhancing this activity.
