PdO@CoSe₂ composites: efficient electrocatalysts for water oxidation in alkaline media.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we have prepared cobalt selenide (CoSe₂) due to its useful aspects from a catalysis point of view such as abundant active sites from Se edges, and significant stability in alkaline conditions. CoSe₂, however, has yet to prove its functionality, so we doped palladium oxide (PdO) onto CoSe₂ nanostructures using ultraviolet (UV) light, resulting in an efficient and stable water oxidation composite. The crystal arrays, morphology, and chemical composition of the surface were studied using a variety of characterization techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy.
