ABSTRACT

Morphological control by SBA-15: The performance of catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) depends strongly on their structural and morphological properties. An IrO(2) nanomaterial with a morphology suitable for the OER is prepared by using a synthetic scheme involving a zeolite template, and shows enhanced activity and stability compared to IrO(2) fabricated by the traditional Adams-fusion method.
