Abstract

We use dip-pen nanolithography to accurately pattern Ni(OH)2 nanoclusters on a metachemical surface with an exceptionally large surface area. The distance between the nanoclusters can be manipulated to control the oxygen-evolution reaction current and overpotential, thereby improving the efficiency of the water-splitting process while using minute amounts of the catalyst.
Keywords: alternative energy; dip-pen nanolithography; meta-chemical surface; Ni(OH)2; water-splitting process alternative energy; dip-pen nanolithography; meta-chemical surface; Ni(OH)2; water-splitting process
