New Water Oxidation Catalyst Could Boost Potential for Solar Production of Hydrogen

Green Car Congress

Heterogeneous WOCs generally have the advantages of low cost, ease of interface with electrode systems, and critically, oxidative stability, but they are harder to study and thus optimize than homogeneous catalysts and they tend to deactivate by surface poisoning or aggregation. You’ll wind up with a lot of gunk. ”.
