Activating cobalt(II) oxide nanorods for efficient electrocatalysis by strain engineering Activating cobalt(II) oxide nanorods for efficient electrocatalysis by strain engineering, Published online: 15 November 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-01872-y NatureArticleSnippet(type=short-summary, markup= The efficiencies of materials-based catalysts are determined by the surface atomic and electronic structures, but harnessing this relationship can be challenging. Here, by engineering strain into cobalt oxide, the authors transform a once poor hydrogen evolution catalyst into one that is competitive with the state of the art. , isJats=true)
