Researchers at the University of Toronto in Canada and Stanford University in the US say they have made the best oxygen-evolving reaction (OER) catalysts to date. The new catalysts, which are made from gelled multimetal oxy-hydroxides, have nanoporous structures and large specific surface areas containing lots of active sites for electrolytic reactions like the OER. The oxy-hydroxides can be prepared in a simple room-temperature process, which means that they might readily be scaled up to industrially relevant volumes………
