Herein, we choose a commercial Cu complex [Cu(EDTA)(HO)] (EDTA = ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) as a molecular catalyst for water oxidation to avoid complex synthesis and lower catalyst cost. [Cu(EDTA)(HO)] could catalyze the water oxidation reaction efficiently under neutral conditions with an overpotential of 684 mV, a of 8.03 s and good stability in the long-term electrolysis. Our finding is of great significance for the development of stable, rapid, and easily accessible catalysts for water oxidation.
在此,我们选择一种商业铜配合物[Cu(EDTA)(HO)](EDTA = 乙二胺四乙酸)作为水氧化的分子催化剂,以避免复杂的合成过程并降低催化剂成本。[Cu(EDTA)(HO)]能够在中性条件下高效催化水氧化反应,过电位为684 mV,周转频率为8.03 s ,并且在长期电解中具有良好的稳定性。我们的发现对于开发稳定、快速且易于获得的水氧化催化剂具有重要意义。
