In this work, triangular Cu@CuO nanorods on Cu nanosheets were fabricated by a novel in-situ oxidation approach using Cu nanosheets as self-template and conductive nano-substrate in an aqueous solution of NaOH/H2O2, and then by lowtemperature phosphorization treatments. The experimental results show that the phosphating temperature has a significant effect on the morphology, composition and number of active sites of Cu@Cu_(3)P nanorods. The Cu@Cu_(3)P-280 electrode exhibits a good HER catalytic activity of achieving a current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) at 252 mV in acid electrolyte. After catalysis for 14 h, the current density can still reach 72% of the initial value. Moreover, the Cu@Cu_(3)P-280 electrode also shows an excellent OER catalytic activity in basic electrolyte, reaching a current density of 10 mA/cm^(2) at the overpotential value of 200 mV. After catalysis for 12 h, the current density remained more than 93% of the initial value. This work provides a theoretical basis for the directional design and preparation of sustainable, low-cost, bifunctional electrocatalytic materials.展开更多
