The use of suitable growth conditions enabled the preparation of Co3O4 nanopyramid assemblies, very attractive for use in hydrogen generation because of the possibility of exploiting the synergy between the peculiar system nano-organization and the Co3O4 catalytic activity. Herein, we focus on the CVD of Si(100)-supported Co3O4 nanopyramids, with particular attention to their morphological characterization and the study of their performances for H2 production by oxygen-assisted photo-reforming of methanol solutions.

Abstract
The use of suitable growth conditions enabled the preparation of Co3O4 nanopyramid assemblies, very attractive for use in hydrogen generation because of the possibility of exploiting the synergy between the peculiar system nano-organization and the Co3O4 catalytic activity. Herein, we focus on the CVD of Si(100)-supported Co3O4 nanopyramids, with particular attention to their morphological characterization and the study of their performances for H2 production by oxygen-assisted photo-reforming of methanol solutions.
