摘要: Abstract Cobalt oxide films, fabricated by reactive sputtering in a 100% pure O 2 plasma are highly nonstoichiometric with bulk oxygen to cobalt ratio of ∼ 1.15. Conversely, surface XPS studies indicate an ranging from 1.8 3.0 and show the presence Co 3+ only region as formed films. Infrared Raman spectra however confirm both 2+ that these defective films possess spinel structure. Photoelectrochemical impedance sputtered is doped p-type semiconductor indirect bandgap E g 1.50 eV. The electrocatalytic properties for reduction evolution reported.
