Sustainable oxygen evolution electrocatalysis in aqueous 1 M H2SO4 with earth abundant nanostructured Co3O4

While water electrolysis offers a renewable way to produce hydrogen, there are few Earth-abundant, acid-stable water oxidation catalysts. Here, authors show Co3O4, when protected by a partially hydrophobic environment, to sustain 40 h activity without structural or chemical transformations.
