Periodic Reporting for period 3 - ME4OER (Mechanism Engineering of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction)
Berichtszeitraum: 2022-03-01 bis 2023-08-31
1) The publication Villalobos et al., Adv. Energy. Mater, doi: 10.1002/aenm.202101737 where we identify three requirements to turn corrosion into a beneficial process. This opens the door to engineer the corrosion mechanism to improve other catalysts and ultimately to find repair mechanisms as an attractive alternative to the design of robust but usually less active electrocatalysts. Further information may be found in the press release (https://www.helmholtz-berlin.de/pubbin/news_seite?nid=23123;sprache=en;seitenid=1)
2) The publication Villalobos et al., J. Phys. Energy, doi: 10.1088/2515-7655/ab9fe2 where we report the recovery of a Mn oxide without applied potential. This is important as the intermittence of renewable energy will lead to resting periods without potential in any device coupled to it. The work was selected as a highlight by the publisher.
