OXYGEN EVOLUTION CATALYST, WATER OXIDATION CATALYST, AND PROCESS FOR OXIDIZING WATER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved oxygen evolution catalyst useful in the development of hydrogen.SOLUTION: A process of forming an oxygen evolution catalyst includes the steps of: providing Co(NO); providing NaWO; combining the Co(NO)and NaWOto form a solution; exposing the solution to a source of microwave energy and initiating a hydrothermal reaction to form hydrated CoWO. The oxygen evolution catalyst including hydrated CoWOmay be used to decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen ions.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8
