In this study, phosphorus/boron-incorporated cobalt oxide nanowires supported on nickel foam (P,B-CoxOy NW@NF) are synthesized by hydrothermal and reduction methods as an electrocatalyst for UOR. The P,B-CoxOy NW@NF demonstrates exceptional electrocatalytic performance with a low UOR potential of 1.33 V at 50 mA/cm2 in alkaline media. Comprehensive structural and morphological analyses reveal the formation of mixed Co3O4-CoO phases with abundant oxygen vacancies (Ov) and Co2+ species, which synergistically enhance conductivity and provide ideal surroundings for active M?OOH species formation. In-situ electrochemical kinetic studies highlight the superior catalytic activity of P,B-CoxOy NW@NF, attributed to a high density of active sites, improved reactant adsorption, and efficient desorption of byproducts, including CO2. The catalyst exhibits excellent long-term stability with minimal degradation of 7 % over 100 h of continuous chronoamperometry testing and 2 % loss after 10,000 cycles. Furthermore, the activity of P,B-CoxOy NW@NF is evaluated in alkaline natural cow urine, requiring just 1.35 V at 50 mA/cm2 for UOR, demonstrating its practical relevance for real-world applications. These findings showcase the significant potential of P,B-CoxOy NW@NF as a scalable and stable electrocatalyst for sustainable hydrogen production from wastewater. 2025 Elsevier Ltd Subject The topic of the resource Electrochemistry; Kinetics; Mixed phase material; Oxygen vacancy; Urea splitting Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Ltd Relation A related resource ISSN: 162361; CODEN: FUELA Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Article Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource Restricted Access; Hardcopy may be available in the library Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource online
