Abstract
Oxygen evolution by electrochemical water oxidation has been studied. The reaction was carried out through electrochemical water oxidation mediated by polynuclear complexes embedded in a Nafion film. The polynuclear complexes used were the µ-oxo-trinuclear ruthenium complex, [(NH3)5 RuORu(NH3)4ORu(NH3)5]Cl6 and [graphic omitted]. These complexes are effective as mediators for enhanced oxygen evolution. The mediated water oxidation has been demonstrated by potential vs. current characteristics and by oxygen analysis by gas chromatography.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
