Abstract

In this work, Co3O4@ZnO nanocomposite photoelectrodes with a core-shell structure were prepared, enabling enhanced photoelectrochemical activity under visible light illumination. This was demonstrated by the photoinduced cathodic polarization of 304 stainless steel in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The morphology, composition, crystalline structure and optical absorption properties of the photoelectrodes were characterized by various analysis techniques and UV
