Development and Investigation of Manganese-doped NiFe nanosheet Catalyst for Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Project description

Innovative combinations of materials boost the efficiency of promising solar energy storage

The electrolysis of water (splitting it with electricity) into oxygen and hydrogen using energy generated by photovoltaics is a great way to store energy from the sun in the form of chemical bonds. The oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a limiting step in the reaction pathway, and overcoming this barrier will require the development of an efficient, durable and cost-effective electrocatalyst. The EU-funded DIMCO project is rising to the challenge, with a focus on a novel combination of materials offering synergistic effects that could significantly enhance OER activity.
