Oxygen Evolution Catalysis: Ruthenium Oxide Nanosheets for Enhanced Oxygen Evolution Catalysis in Acidic Medium (Adv. Energy Mater. 15/2019)

In article number 1803795, Bettina V. Lotsch and co-workers report the synthesis and exfoliation of ruthenium oxide nanosheets, which exhibit an electrocatalytic activity for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic environments that is among the highest of all solution processed catalysts known to date. Theoretical calculations suggest that the edges are the origin of the high OER activity of the nanosheets. Image by Christoph Hohmann, Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM).
