Figure 4

SEM images of the hybrid structures supported on Ni foams prepared with urea plus thiourea at different Ni:Mn feeding mole ratios: (a) 0:1.05, (b) 0.3:0.75, (c) 0.4:0.65, (d) 0.5:0.55, (e) 0.6:0.45, (f) 0.8:0.25, (g) 0.9:0.15, (h) 1.05:0. The insets are the images of samples at higher magnification. (Heating process: 90 oC for 4 h + 110 oC for 10 h).
