[0044] Figure 4 For three electrode foam copper, Co 3 O 4 And Co 3 O 4 @PPy's CV curve, the three electrode curves all show the redox peak of CV, and the peak position is basically the same, the foam copper grows Co 3 O 4 After the nanoneedles, the peak redox current has decreased, which is due to Co 3 O 4 As a semiconductor, the conductivity is worse than that of foamed copper, so the peak current is reduced, but due to Co 3 O 4 The nanoneedle array structure increases the active catalytic sites to a certain extent, making the peak current drop not obvious. Co obtained after coating with polypyrrole 3 O 4 The CV peak current of the @PPy nanowire array has increased significantly. This is due to the increased conductivity of the material after polypyrrole coating. Co 3 O 4 @PPy nanowire array has good catalytic activity.
