Exploring high-efficient and low-cost electrode materials is very important to improve the energy conversion efficiency of catalysts. Metal oxide generally exhibits poor conductivity that restricts its wide applications. In this work, a series of ZnCo₂O₄@PPy nanowires are obtained through a facile hydrothermal route and subsequently electrochemical deposition process. Among them, ZnCo₂O₄@PPy-200 product shows superior OER performance with a low overpotential and Tafel slope of 60.77 mV/dec. As bifunctional catalysts to drive electrolysis of water, the samples deliver a cell voltage of 1.95 V at 100 mA/cm² and long cycle stability.

探索高效，低成本的电极材料对于提高催化剂的能量转化效率非常重要。金属氧化物通常表现出差的导电性，这限制了其广泛的应用。在这项工作中，通过便捷的水热途径以及随后的电化学沉积过程获得了一系列的ZnCo ₂ O ₄ @PPy纳米线。其中，ZnCo ₂ O ₄ @ PPy-200产品显示出优异的OER性能，且低电势和Tafel斜率为60.77 mV / dec。作为驱动水电解的双功能催化剂，样品在100 mA / cm ^2时可提供1.95 V的电池电压，并具有长循环稳定性。
