SEM image of an ITO electrode modified by electrolysis at −0.9 V vs Ag/AgCl of a solution containing 1Cl2 (0.5 mM) in aqueous phosphate buffer (0.5 M, pH 7) for 1 h (0.1 C.cm−2geometric) (A), XPS data (Co2p, O1s and P2p cores) of a H2-CoCat material deposited onto FTO substrate (blue traces) versus commercial Co3(PO4)2·xH2O (black traces) (B), and polarization of a FTO electrode modified with H2-CoCat (blue dots) compared with that of a Co foil electrode (black dots) in phosphate buffer (0.5 M, pH 7) at 0.05 mV.s−1 (C).
