Electrochemically Deposited Amorphous Cobalt-Nickel-Doped Copper Oxide as an Efficient Electrocatalyst toward Water Oxidation Reaction.

ABSTRACT: Production of hydrogen through water splitting is one of the green and the most practical solutions to cope with the energy crisis and greenhouse effect. However, oxygen evolution reaction (OER) being a sluggish step, the use of precious metal-based catalysts is the main impediment toward the viability of water splitting. In this work, amorphous copper oxide and doped binary- and ternary-metal oxides (containing Co^II, Ni^II, and Cu^II) have been prepared on the surface of fluorine-doped tin oxide by a facile electrodeposition route followed by thermal treatment. The fabricated electrodes have been employed as efficient binder-free OER electrocatalysts possessing a high electrochemical surface area due to their amorphous nature. The cobalt-nickel-doped copper
