In this study, we prepared CoO-based thin films deposited on Kanthal steel wire gauze meshes by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed a structure characterized by a combination of cobalt oxide and metallic cobalt embedded within a carbon matrix. Our primary objective was to gain insights into the roles of Co and CoO in CO hydrogenation reactions.
