The development of low cost and durable electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for water splitting remains a great challenge. Here, we developed strongly coupled hybrid nanowires (NWs) of anion (Cl- and CO-) doped cobalt hydroxide coated with nanosheets of graphitic carbon nitride...
