Electrocatalysis is a type of catalysis that results in the modification of the rate of an electrochemical reaction occurring on an electrode surface. The relative electrocatalytic properties of a ...
Proton-exchange membrane water electrolysers often rely on scarce iridium or ruthenium catalysts at the anode, as many low-cost, earth-abundant catalysts cannot withstand the harsh operational ...
In this joint effort, Hydrous Iridium Oxide Thin Films (HIROFs ... By examining a highly active and porous catalyst with a singular hydroxylated Ir suboxide species, the study develops a nanosheet ...
Both electrodes are coated with special electrocatalysts to accelerate the desired reaction. Iridium-based catalysts are best suited for the anode, where the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction occurs.
Iridium-based catalysts are needed to produce hydrogen using water electrolysis. Now, a team at HZB has shown that the newly developed P2X catalyst, which requires only a quarter of the iridium ...
Two different Iridium-based nanocatalysts for water electrolysis were examined by a HZB-led team: A commercial benchmark catalyst (left) and the newly developed P2X catalyst (right), which is more ...
