Haematite (α-Fe 2 O 3) has emerged as one of the most promising materials to carry out the light-driven water-oxidation half reaction for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting 1,2,3,4,5,6.

"The system is also capable of oxidizing other organic molecules." Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that can ...

A research team has developed a highly stable and efficient water oxidation catalyst, marking a major advancement in the field of green hydrogen production via water splitting technology.

3 After establishing the oxidation state of the prepared catalyst, the next step was to perform successive heating treatments in the reaction cell. Each treatment involved sample heating followed by ...

Chemists use redox half-reactions to describe thermodynamic processes like the ones embodied by such equations. For both of the reactions shown, the hydrogen molecules are oxidized and the oxygen ...

When solid zinc is placed in Ag+ solution, the zinc is seen to grow black and dissolve as it is oxidized to Zn2+. Long, shiny slivers of silver metal begin to grow on the dissolving zinc as the Ag+ is ...

Reduction is the opposite of oxidation. It is the gain of electrons. Compounds reacting that result in metal elements being formed are examples of reduction reactions. Redox reactions are ...
