Theory-driven design of high-valence metal sites for water oxidation confirmed using in situ soft X-ray absorption

Theory-driven design of high-valence metal sites for water oxidation confirmed using <i>in situ</i> soft X-ray absorption, Published online: 20 November 2017; doi:10.1038/nchem.2886

Water oxidation is key to the production of chemical fuels from electricity. Now, guided by theory, NiCoFeP oxyhydroxide catalysts have been developed that require an overpotential lower than that required by IrO2. In situ soft X-ray absorption studies of neutral-pH NiCoFeP catalysts indicate formation of Ni4+, which is favourable for water oxidation.

水氧化是用电生产化学燃料的关键。现在，在理论的指导下，已开发出所需的电势低于IrO2所需的NiCoFeP羟基氧化物催化剂。中性pH NiCoFeP催化剂的原位软X射线吸收研究表明形成了Ni4 +，这对水的氧化是有利的。
