Abstract:

Co3O4 is an important catalyst widely used for CO oxidation or electrochemical water oxidation near room temperature and was also recently used as support for single-atom catalysts (SACs). Co3O4 with a spinel structure hosts dual oxidation states of Co2+ and Co3+ in the lattice, leading to the complexity of its surface structure as the exposure of Co2+ and Co3+ has a significant impact on the performance of the catalysts. Although it is acknowledged that different facets exhibit varied catalytic activities and different abilities in hosting single atoms to provide active centers in SACs, the Co3O4 surface structure remains under-investigated. In this study, major facets of {111}, {110}, and {100} were studied down to subangstrom scale using advanced electron microscopy. We noticed that each facet has its own most stable surface configuration. The distribution of Co2+ and Co3+ on each facet was quantified, revealing a facet-dependent distribution of Co2+ and Co3+. Co3+ was found to be preferentially exposed on {100} and {110} as well as surface steps. Surface reconstruction was revealed, where a subangstrom scale shift of Co2+ was confirmed on facets of {111} and {100} due to polarity compensation and oxygen deficiency on the surface. This work not only improves our fundamental understanding of the Co3O4 surface structure but also may promote the design of Co3O4-based catalysts with tunable activity and stability.
