Effect of structure-controlled ruthenium oxide by nanocasting in electrocatalytic oxygen and chlorine evolution reactions in acidic conditions

Abstract

RuO2 has been used for various applications because of its good catalytic properties. To further improve its electrocatalytic properties, we used a nanocasting technique. By using this technique, we obtained structure-controlled (SC) RuO2 with a high surface area and an ordered porous structure, which created enhanced electrocatalytic properties over commercial RuO2 nanoparticles for both oxygen and chlorine evolution reactions.
