Electrode surface embedded manganese(iii)–pincer complexes: efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction

Abstract

Highly active, robust, cheap, and environmentally benign electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are critically important to develop a sustainable artificial energy cycle. Here, we report the in-situ synthesis of...

Design and Development of Sustainable Cu2 (II)- and Mn2 (III)-Embedded Bifunctional Electrocatalysts: Enhanced Hydrogen and Oxygen Generation

“…Mn-pincers of two different catalyze shows OER at smaller η-values of 260 and 275 mV to achieve CDs of 3.2 and 2.46 mA cm −2 , respectively. 42 In 2019, Liu et al discovered a copper(II) complex that is soluble in water using tetrakis(4-Nmethyl pyridyl)porphyrin that catalyzes the O 2 generation process with modest overpotentials in a neutral aqueous electrolyte. 43 Putra et al reported the development of an effective catalytic system for the OER using a chelate polymer comprising Cu (II) and dithiooxamide.…”

“…Recently, Mahanta’s group reported two Mn (III) pincers [Mn­(OAc)­(L 1 )­(cbpy)] and [Mn­(OAc)­(L 2 )­(cbpy)] by the self-assembly method on a gold surface and investigated their activity for the electrocatalytic OER in a neutral pH medium. Mn-pincers of two different catalyze shows OER at smaller η-values of 260 and 275 mV to achieve CDs of 3.2 and 2.46 mA cm –2 , respectively . In 2019, Liu et al discovered a copper­(II) complex that is soluble in water using tetrakis­(4- N -methyl pyridyl)­porphyrin that catalyzes the O 2 generation process with modest overpotentials in a neutral aqueous electrolyte .…”
