METHOD OF SYNTHESIS OF AN ELECTRODE FOR USE AS A CATALYST OF OXYGEN EVOLUTION REACTION

摘要

The present invention concerns methods of synthesis of an oxidized nickel foam electrode incorporating iron comprising the step of subjecting a nickel foam electrode to repetitive cyclic voltammetric scans in a basic solution containing iron. The present invention also concerns an oxidized nickel foam electrode said oxidized nickel foam incorporating iron, and the use of such an electrode as a catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction. Furthermore, the invention relates to a water spliting device such as an electrolyzer comprising such an electrode.
