Abstract
The present invention provides an electrocatalytic material and a method for making an electrocatalytic material. There is also provided an electrocatalytic material comprising amorphous metal or mixed metal oxides. There is also provided methods of forming an electrocatalyst, comprising an amorphous metal oxide film.
Claims9
A method of forming an electrode comprising an electrocatalytic amorphous metal oxide film on a substrate, the method comprising the steps of:
- i. providing the substrate;
- ii. coating the substrate with a metallo-organic precursor solution, wherein the metallo-organic precursor contains a photosensitive ligand;
- iii. converting the metallo-organic precursor to zero oxidation state metal by photolysis under UV light radiation;
- and
- iv. oxidizing the zero oxidation state material to a metal oxide to form the amorphous metal oxide film on the substrate to form the electrode.
