Fig. 1: Synthesis of Co-F NWs by electroreduction of Co(OH)F NWs.
From: Electrocatalytic hydrogenation of quinolines with water over a fluorine-modified cobalt catalyst

a, b Comparisons of Eads of 1a and 2a on pure Co and Co-F, respectively (insert: the stable adsorption modes of 1a and 2a). c The calculated ΔGH* over pure Co and Co-F. d Co 2p XPS spectra and e F 1 s XPS spectra of the Co(OH)F and Co-F catalysts. f In situ Co K-edge XANES spectra and g EXAFS spectra of Co(OH)F NW at −1.2 V vs. Hg/HgO in 1.0 M KOH (the spectra of Co foil and Co(OH)F are also shown for reference.). h SEM and i TEM images of Co(OH)F and Co-F catalysts.
