In this work, α-Co(OH) 2 and β-Co(OH) 2 nanosheets were selectively synthesized through an epoxide precipitation reaction under mediation of fluoride ions. The protonation and ring opening reaction of propylene oxide promoted the hydrolysis [Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ to form a mixed phase of α-Co(OH) 2 and Co 2 (OH) 3 Cl in the condition of no existence of fluoride ions. Due to the enhanced hydrolysis of [Co(H 2 O) 6 ] 2+ under function of fluoride ions, pure phases of α-Co(OH) 2 and β-Co(OH) 2 were formed respectively at different concentration of fluoride ions. The mild reaction condition of this route allows for large scale synthesis of cobalt hydroxide nanosheets, which is only limited by volume of the vessel used as reactor.

Co(OH) 2 modified TiO 2 (Co(OH) 2 /TiO 2 ) was fabricated by a simple precipitation method and applied as a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate. Using triphenylmethane dye acid blue 83 as the analyte, the SERS substrate showed high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1 × 10 –7 M and high signal reproducibility with a relative standard deviation of 8.9%. Moreover, the substrate can also be used to in situ monitor the catalytic degradation of Acid blue 83. In addition, compared with cationic triphenylmethane dye, the Co(OH) 2 /TiO 2 substrate presented stronger SERS activity towards anionic counterparts. The easy preparation and high sensitivity and selectivity towards anionic dyes of Co(OH) 2 /TiO 2 provides a robust alternative for promoting the practical application of semiconductor-based SERS substrate in selective detection.

In the detection of biomolecules, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors require high sensitivity. In this study, we propose a sensitivity-enhanced functionalized plasmonic interface based on Ag–TiO 2 –Co(OH) 2 nanosheets structure. Compared to unmodified SPR sensors, the sensitivity of the sensor decorated with TiO 2 and Co(OH) 2 nanosheets is increased by 130.84%, reaching 5764.27 nm/RIU. This enhancement is attributed to the high refractive index of the coating, as well as the high specific surface area and abundant active sites provided by the synthesized Co(OH) 2 nanosheets with a multi-grooved structure. Additionally, employing a double-antibody sandwich method, the antibody-functionalized plasmonic interface enables specific detection of human serum albumin (HSA). The linear response of this sensor was in the wide range of 0.4–150 μM, and the LOD reached 154.89 nM(K D is approximately 1.73 × 10 −6 M). This novel SPR sensor offers a new strategy for biochemical sensing and provides a highly sensitive platform for immunoassays.

A facile synthetic route based on the assistance of magnetic field is reported to fabricate core–shell CoB@Co(OH) 2 nanochains for purpose of the high conductive pathway and enhanced pseudocapacitance in 3 M LiOH electrolyte. By adjusting the loading amount of the shell Co(OH) 2 nanosheets anchored on the core CoB alloy surface, the typical core–shell CoB@Co(OH) 2 is endowed with the appropriate pore volume of 0.27 cm 3 g −1 and the high accessible electrode/electrolyte interfacial area (62.3 m 2 g −1 ) and the fast conductive highway; meanwhile taking advantages of core–shell structure can be favor for fast ion transport between the electrode/electrolyte interphase and rapid electron transfer. Benefiting from the advantageous properties, the typical CoB@Co(OH) 2 electrode exhibits a high specific capacitance of 492.8 F g −1 in three-electrode device together with good cyclic stability (90.4% capacitance retention) during continuously 5000 cycles at 2 A g −1 . This work can provide an inspiring strategy for rational designing of core–shell CoB@Co(OH) 2 , and indicate their potential energy application in alkaline electrolyte. Graphical abstract

Alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is constrained by the Sabatier principle, making it challenging to simultaneously optimize water dissociation and hydrogen desorption. Here, we report a spatially decoupled tandem catalyst, Co(OH) 2 @Mo 2 C, that circumvents this constraint via a hydroxyl-mediated hydrogen spillover pathway. Mo 2 C serves as the *H generation site via rapid water dissociation, while adjacent Co(OH) 2 functions as the *H acceptor and recombination center, with abundant surface hydroxyl groups on Co(OH) 2 accelerating hydrogen spillover from Mo 2 C to Co(OH) 2 and sustaining water dissociation kinetics. CH 3 I poisoning experiments, corroborated by in situ Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, reveal the critical mediating role of hydroxyl groups in hydrogen migration. The optimized catalyst achieves only 43 mV overpotential to reach 10 mA cm −2 in 1 M KOH, and durability over 150 h at 0.5 A cm −2 in an anion exchange membrane water electrolyzer. This work establishes a generalizable interfacial engineering strategy to circumvent the Sabatier limitation by accelerating hydrogen migration on spatially segregating elementary steps. A spatially decoupled Co(OH) 2 @Mo 2 C tandem electrocatalyst shows that Mo 2 C rapidly dissociates water while Co(OH) 2 efficiently shuttles *H to accelerate H 2 release, where Co(OH) 2 abundant surface hydroxyl groups accelerate hydrogen spillover from Mo 2 C to Co(OH) 2 and maintain water dissociation kinetics.

The green synthesis process of photocatalytic ammonia production has received more and more attentions. Herein, a Z-scheme heterojunction with all-solid-state structures is constructed, in which carbon dots can act as electron transferring mediators. The photocatalytic measurement shows that the modified photocatalysts exhibit much higher activities, in which the ammonia production rates can reach above 232 µmol·g cal -1 ·h −1 under the light irradiation. The improved catalytic properties can be credited to the significantly increased number of photoinduced oxygen vacancies, the excellent visible-light adsorption abilities and photogenerated electron-hole separation efficiencies for the carbon dots bridged heterostructures. More hydroxyl and superoxide radicals can be simultaneously produced in the composites. This work provides reasonable guidance for applications in photocatalytic ammonia synthesis and a promising construction strategy of efficient Z-scheme photocatalysts.

Oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction are considered as essential processes in the energy conversion devices. The progress of cost-effective bifunctional catalysts has become a critical issue to be solved. Here, we report that Co(OH) 2 @N-doped carbon (NC) was facilely synthesized through the impregnation strategy of metal-organic frameworks derived carbon and cobalt ions. N-doped carbon with porous structure and cobalt hydroxide nanosheets play a synergistic effect role, representing excellent catalytic performance toward oxygen evolution and reduction reactions. The obtained Co(OH )2 @NC exhibits remarkable activity in terms of a lower overpotential of 330 mV@10 mA cm −2 for OER and a more positive half-wave potential (E 1/2 = 0.84 V) for ORR in alkaline medium, outperforming IrO 2 and Pt/C. Due to its superior bifunctional catalytic performance, Co(OH) 2 @NC catalyst is applied into a promising air electrode of Zn-air battery. This presented strategy of impregnation synthesis in this work provides a new design direction for practical electrochemical energy devices.

Ultrathin α-Co(OH)2 nanosheets (NSs) were hydrothermally synthesized without using surfactants and templates. Interestingly, the ultrathin α-Co(OH)2 NSs evolved from graphene-like NSs to hexagonal nanoplates (NPs) and then transformed into a needle-like Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O phase with increasing reaction temperature and time. The phase and morphology evolution depended strongly on the CO32− ions in the solution. We ruled out the possibility that CO32− originated from the adsorption of CO2 in air and proposed the possible phase transition mechanism from α-Co(OH)2 to Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O, which was due to the decomposition of hexamethylenetetramine driven by dynamics and thermodynamics. The morphology evolution could be regarded as the dissolution–recrystallization–redissolution–recrystallization of α-Co(OH)2. The electrochemical behavior tests demonstrated that the ultrathin α-Co(OH)2 electrode exhibited an excellent specific capacitance of 833.4 F g−1 at 5 A g−1; however, the specific capacitance of the needle-like Co(CO3)0.5(OH)·0.11H2O electrode was 247.2 F g−1 at the same current density. This excellent electrochemical property is attributed to the crystalline phase and ultrathin nature of the materials.

Hydrogen production from water electrolysis offers a highly promising and sustainable route to solve the energy crisis. However, it is severely limited by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) occurring on the anode. Herein, employing carbon dots functionalized with benzene sulfonate groups (BS-CDs) as a distinctive inductor, a Co(OH)2catalyst featuring abundant defects was synthesized for an enhanced OER. The highly hydrophilic nature of BS-CDs exerts a significant interfacial induction effect on the growth dynamics of Co(OH)2, fostering the formation of elevated crystal defects and a substantial quantity of oxygen vacancies. The resulting BS-CDs/Co(OH)2catalyst requires an overpotential of only 340 mV to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm−2in alkaline media, demonstrating markedly improved OER activity compared to pristine Co(OH)2and N-CDs/Co(OH)2induced by amine-modified CDs. Furthermore, the structural integrity of the catalyst is maintained, with a current retention rate of 92% observed following a 20 h stability assessment. This work provides a novel approach for developing cost-effective transition metal catalysts that exhibit exceptional catalytic efficiency and excellent stability for the OER.

Palladium (Pd) nanoparticles in combination with naturally abundant materials are stable and highly active catalysts for hydrogen production . Herein, Co(OH) 2 nanosheet arrays are prepared hydrothermally on graphene/nickel foam (graphene/NF) to produce Co(OH) 2 /graphene/NF which provides the desirable three-dimensional (3D) substrate for subsequent Pd electrodeposition to obtain Pd/Co(OH) 2 /graphene/NF. The materials exhibit excellent durability and catalytic performance in the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in an alkaline environment such as a low overpotential of 124 mV at 10 mA cm −2 and Tafel slop of 53 mVdec −1 . The excellent performance is attributed to the synergistic catalytic effects rendered by the nanostructured interfaces between the Pd nanoparticles and Co(OH) 2 nanosheet arrays as well as large surface area . The technique and materials have large potential in energy conversion applications.

In the context of hydrogen energy development, hydrogen production technology based on the hydrolysis of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) has attracted considerable attention owing to its mild reaction conditions and the high-purity hydrogen generation. Nevertheless, the intrinsically sluggish hydrolysis kinetics of NaBH 4 require the development of non-noble metal catalysts that simultaneously achieve high catalytic activity and excellent durability. In this work, a molybdenum-doped cobalt hydroxide (MoO 2 -Co(OH) 2 ) catalyst was fabricated via a homogeneous urea precipitation approach, and its catalytic performance for H 2 generation from NaBH 4 hydrolysis was systematically evaluated. Concurrently, SEM, TEM, and XPS characterizations collectively elucidated the reaction pathway and electronic modulation mechanism involving Mo-doping-induced Co 2+ oxidation and oxygen vacancy generation. Additionally, this study demonstrates that the composite material possesses favorable surface hydrophilicity and exceptional synergistic catalytic activity. Through systematic modulation of the Mo/Co molar ratio, the MoO 2 -Co(OH) 2 catalyst achieved an exceptional hydrogen generation rate (HGR) of 9831.46 mL·min −1 ·g −1 at ambient temperature, concomitant with a markedly reduced activation energy (38.81 kJ·mol −1 ) relative to pristine Co(OH) 2 (68.97 kJ·mol −1 ). Furthermore, the catalytic performance of this system is comparable to, or even superior to, that of state-of-the-art Co-based catalysts. The superior catalytic performance was ascribed to the synergistic contributions of abundant defect sites afforded by the amorphous architecture, the intrinsically enhanced activity stemming from the electronic structure modulation, and the enhanced stability endowed by the compact microstructure.

Herein, a simple hydrothermal method was used to synthesize cobalt hydroxide/nickel sulfide and cobalt foam (Co(OH) 2 /NiS@CF) composite electrode. By simply heating cobalt foam in the aqueous solution containing cobalt nitrate, nickel nitrate, and thiourea, Co(OH) 2 /NiS nano stereoscopic website was synthesized on Cobalt foam. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and electrochemical tests were used to characterize these composite electrodes. When the molar ratio of Co(NO 3 ) 2 ·6H 2 O to Thiourea of 4:5, Co(OH) 2 /NiS@CF exhibits excellent performance under these tests. The specific capacitance was 1260 F/g at 1.0 A/g. The composite electrode had 92.3% capacitance retention after 2000 charge-discharge cycles at 1.0 A/g.
