Controllable design and synthesis are a great challenge to the fabrication of micro-/nano-structures of electrode materials in heterogeneous electrocatalysis. Herein, by virtue of an inorganic-MOF-inorganic (IMI) two-stage precursor approach, novel ultrathin CuO decorated Cu–C hybrid nanorod arrays...
