Cobaloximes are usually used as molecular hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts. Herein we report for the first time the use of molecular cobaloximes as catalyst precursors for water oxidation when anodic potentials were applied. Highly active thin catalyst films were deposited at +1.5 V and +1.1 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) in 0.1 M borate buffer solution at pH = 9.2 containing 1 mM cobaloximes. Four catalyst films (CoOx-1–CoOx-4) were synthesized from four different cobaloximes. The current densities of CoOx-1 were up to ∼5.5 mA cm−2 and ∼2.6 mA cm−2 when the applied potentials were +1.5 V and +1.1 V, respectively, which were higher than the current densities of CoOx-2, CoOx-3 and CoOx-4 under the same conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images reveal that the nanometer-sized particles of CoOx-1 possibly contribute to its high activity while the other three catalysts have micrometer-sized amorphous materials on the surface of FTO. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data displayed the valence state of the cobalt element as Co(II) or Co(III) oxide species. The morphological stability of the CoOx-1 catalyst was further studied using SEM.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
