Abstract

Abstract:

Converting solar energy to hydrogen by water splitting is a major trend of the future energy development. Water oxidation is in the most important and complex step in the conversion. So it is critical to design a stable and efficient catalyst for the water oxidation. The development of Ruthenium-based water oxidation catalyst tends to maturity. However, its utilization is limited by the high price and low reserves. In recent years, iron as the same group of ruthenium for catalytic oxidation of water has received increasing attention. Here we summarize the progress of classification of iron-based water oxidation catalyst, the preparation method, and the catalytic system and mechanism. By analyzing current problems, we try to provide some reference for further design of water oxidation catalysts.

Key words: iron based catalyst, water splitting, oxygen evolving reaction, research progress
