We report the first use of cobalt aluminophosphate (CoAPO5) as a water oxidation catalyst. A decrease in the overvoltage by about 0.2 V with respect to catalyst free FTO has been observed. Additionally, we show that CoAPO5, deposited on ITO or Pt, can also act as a photo-electro-catalyst, as it generates enhanced oxidation currents in the presence of light starting from a bias of +0.8 V vs. Ag/...

Developing noble metal-free water oxidation catalysts is essential for many energy conversion/storage processes (e.g., water splitting). Herein, we report a facile synthesis of CuO microspheres composed of ultrathin, single-crystal-like nanosheets via a simple solution method. The as-obtained CuO microspheres can serve as an active and stable water oxidation catalyst under electrochemical react...

Introduction One-pot oxidation reaction consisted of direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) from H2 and O2 gases and oxidation reaction using in situ generated H2O2 is promising synthetic method, because it is possible to use the unstable H2O2 immediately without isolation/purification steps, which would contribute to energy and time saving as well as avoid the risk of transportation of t...

Rates of electrocatalytic water oxidation to oxygen by Ru(II) polypyridyl complexes are enhanced by added NaCl. Observations based on the single-site catalyst [Ru(II)(Mebimpy)(bpy)(OH2)](2+) (Mebimpy is 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine; bpy is 2,2'-bipyridine) at pH 7.0 in a phosphate buffer suggest a mechanism involving initial oxidation of the catalyst to Ru(V)(O)(3+) followed by Cl...

alcohol oxidation is an important reaction in organic syntheses. some of these reactions must beunder difficult conditions in respect of high temperature and pressure. in many cases, reactions areconducted by environmentally in appropriate solutions. in this study, preparing an effectivenanocatalyst and estimating the optimum provisions of its production processes are assessed. twomajor and cru...

in this study, multi wall carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (cvd) method using two different catalysts (fe nanoparticles) and (ni nanoparticles) with  two different substrates: quartz and alumina. acetylene gas was used as a carbon source and argon as a carrier gas at different temperatures and different times to study the effects of these parameters on cnt...

[Cu5(OH)4(H2O)2(A-α-SiW9O33)2](10-) (1) was tested as the first copper-containing polyoxometalate catalyst for O2 production via visible light-driven water oxidation. Multiple experiments confirm that 1 is an active and dominant catalyst during water oxidation.

After improving the condition such as PH, P.S concentration, K2S2O8concentration, ionic strength, temperature, rate constant, activation energy, constant frequency,order reaction and thermo dyna...

A supported manganese porphyrin-based oxidation catalyst was prepared by zirconium-phosphonate multilayer assembly with [5,15-bis(4-phenylphosphonic acid)porphyrinato] manganese(III) chloride (2) and zirconium(IV) ions on indium–tin oxide electrodes. This assembly technique provided good control over the catalyst loading, which was confirmed by UV–Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Relati...

Herein we report that the reaction of KMnO4 with cobalt nanoparticles coated with multiple graphene layers forms a promising catalyst toward water oxidation.
