In this work, we report the transformation of Ni3S2 nanowire array on nickel foam into the amorphous nickel carbonate nanowire array on nickel foam （NiCO3/NF）. The resulting NiCO3/NF shows high electrocatalytic activity towards water oxidation and affords current density of 50 mA. cm-2 at overpotential of 395 mV in 1.0 mol·L^-1 KHCO3. Moreover, this NiCO3/NF is also durable with a long-term electrochemical durability of 60 h. This catalyst electrode achieves a high turnover frequency of 0.21 mol O2·s^-1 at the overpotential of 500 mV.展开更多
