Co(iii) 2-ethylhexanoate, a hydrophobic and highly soluble Co(iii) precursor for thin coatings for water electrolysis

Abstract

We propose here Co(III) 2-ethylhexanoate (Co(III)eh) as a versatile precursor to make uniform and stable cobalt-containing coatings. Unlike other available salts and complexes of Co(III) that are soluble only in...
