PROCESS FOR OXIDIZING WATER, CELL FOR OXIDIZING WATER, WATER OXIDATION CATALYST, AND ELECTRODE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL WATER OXIDATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved oxygen evolution reaction catalyst useful for generating hydrogen.SOLUTION: A process for oxidizing water using hydrated cobalt molybdenum is disclosed. A plurality of hydrated cobalt molybdenum nanoparticles are supported on an electrode and are able to catalytically interact with water molecules generating oxygen. The catalyst can be used as part of an electrochemical or photo-electrochemical cell for generation of electrical energy.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
