Size-Dependent Activity of Co3O4 Nanoparticle Anodes for Alkaline Water Electrolysis
Abstract
Cubic Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles with average diameters of 5.9, 21.1, and 46.9 nm (hereafter small, medium, and large) have been synthesized and characterized by pXRD, TEM, and BET. The nanoparticles were loaded onto Ni foam supports for evaluation as anodes for water electrolysis in 1.0 M KOH. Current densities of 10 mA/cm 2 were achieved at overpotentials of 328, 363, and 382 mV for anodes loaded with 1 mg/cm 2 of small, medium, and large sized Co 3 O 4 nanoparticles, respectively. The activity correlates with the BET surface area of the isolated particles. A plot of the electrochemical overpotential at 10 mA/cm 2 against the log of the BET surface area gives a linear relation with a slope of −47 ± 7 mV/dec, showing unequivocally that the activity increase is a function of accessible catalyst surface area.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
