Abstract
A process for oxidizing water using hydrated cobalt molybdenum is disclosed. A plurality of hydrated cobalt molybdenum nanoparticles are supported on an electrode and are able to catalytically interact with water molecules generating oxygen. The catalyst can be used as part of an electrochemical or photo-electrochemical cell for the generation of electrical energy.
Claims6
A process for oxidizing water, the process comprising:
- providing hydrated cobalt molybdenum;
- providing water;
- and
- placing the water into contact with the hydrated cobalt molybdenum, the hydrated cobalt molybdenum catalyzing the oxidation of water.
