Abstract

Herein, we present a template- and surfactant-free electrochemical method for the fabrication of hierarchical porous CeO2 NWs and NWAs. These porous NWs/NWAs have diameters of 50–200 nm and lengths of up to several micrometres. Both the NWs and NWAs exhibit an excellent ability to remove Congo red in wastewater treatment.
