ELECTROLYTIC WATER SPLITTING USING A CARBON-SUPPORTED MnOx-COMPOSITE

摘要

The present invention relates to the electrolytic splitting of water using a carbon- supported manganese oxide (MnOx) composite. Specifically, the present electrolytic splitting of water is carried under neutral electrolyte conditions with a high electrolytic activity, while using an oxygen evolution reaction (OER) -electrode comprising the present carbon- supported MnOx composite. Next, the present invention relates to a process for producing such a carbon- supported MnOx composite as well as to a composite obtainable by the present process for producing the same and to an OER-electrode comprising the carbon- supported MnOx composite obtainable by the present process.
