ABSTRACT

Three-dimensional macroporous noble metal-free films are
successfully prepared by one step electro-deposition via hydrogen
bubbles dynamic templates (DHBT) method. The prepared films are
characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron
dispersive X-ray (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray
photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Moreover, the prepared electrodes
are found to have high mechanical stability and electrochemical
activity towards glycerol electro-oxidation and water splitting in
alkaline medium.
