Cobalt Ferrite Nanocrystallites for Sustainable Hydrogen Production Application

Abstract EN

Cobalt ferrite, CoFe2O4, nanocrystalline films were deposited using electrostatic spray method and explored in sustainable hydrogen production application.

Reflection planes in X-ray diffraction pattern confirm CoFe2O4 phase.

The surface scanning microscopy photoimages reveal an agglomeration of closely-packed CoFe2O4 nanoflakes.

Concentrated solar-panel, a two-step water splitting process, measurement technique was preferred for measuring the hydrogen generation rate.

For about 5 hr sustainable, 440 mL/hr, hydrogen production activity was achieved, confirming the efficient use of cobalt ferrite nanocrystallites film in hydrogen production application.
