摘要

Oxygen vacancies enable the formation of reactive oxygen species (O-2 center dot(-)), which can react with the HCHO absorbed at the catalysts surfaces. As a result, the Co3O4 nanowires with surface oxygen vacancies demonstrated superior catalytic performance for HCHO oxidation and exhibited excellent stability in long-term test.
