The overpotential of catalytic OER was very low and the Tafel slope (Tafel analysis is a tool for comparing electrocatalytic activity and elucidating the reaction mechanism) was close to that of a commercial RuO 2 catalyst. A paper describing their work is published in the journal Electrochemistry Communications. 2015.11.004.

So far, many materials have been suggested until now, however, titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) is still one of attractive photoelectrodes due to its strong optical absorption, high chemical stability, environmental benignity, and low cost. These resulted in a dramatic decrease in the energy conversion efficiency. 2016.01.004.

The commercialization path in part will depend on the cost of cerium. At an alloy cost of less than $10.00/kg, At alloy costs in the $10 to $20 range, commercialization activities would concentrate on military application, where the alloy strength could be used advantageously for lighter weight structures.

The vehicle can also be used to transfer the energy to another location—for example, from a solar charging station at work to the vehicle owner’s home or from a home solar set-up to a vacation dwelling or to a jobsite in a commercial setting. There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today. Conclusions.
