Surface engineering that could modulate the surface shape to be endowed with the high specific surface ratio, abundant chemical dangling bonds and improved defects exposure is highly desired and needs further exploring. Here, we report a facile strategy of surface engineering on decorating the controllable segmented copper-iron nanowires arrays (Cu-Fe NWs) with their respective hydroxides. Specifically, the pristine segmented Cu-Fe NWs are firstly synthesized via sequentially electrodepositing Cu NWs and Fe NWs inside the nanochannels of anode aluminum oxide (AAO) template. Subsequently, the surface and interface of Cu-Fe NWs are wet-chemically etched, in which the metallic Cu and Fe are partially converted into Cu(OH)_x nano-fibrous roots (NFRs) and FeO(OH)_y nanoparticles (NPs), and finally decorate around the respective outer-surface of Cu NWs and Fe NWs segments. As one case of the applications in hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), our surface-modified Cu-Fe NWs exhibit improved catalytic activity compared with Fe NWs.
