This article was reviewed according to Science fact checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread OK! This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. … Read more

This diagram shows how a catalyst consisting of a few layers of iridium oxide (IrOX) over a titanium nitride (TiN) carrier can efficiently store oxygen (O2), hydrogen ions (H+), and electrons (e.g–) from water molecules (H2O) in an acidic electrolyte. This ‘oxygen evolution reaction’ is the more challenging of the two reactions required to split … Read more
