Focus on Electronic Coupling at the Interface
A new publication in RSC Advances explores an approach to improving electrocatalysts for alkaline overall water splitting. The study focuses on the electronic coupling at the interface of FeMoO₄/carbon hybrid materials.
The publication includes contributions from Prof. Dr. Mandana Amiri, researcher at Danube Private University (DPU), and Manova Santhosh Yesupatham, PhD student at DPU.
The study investigates hybrid materials combining iron molybdate (FeMoO₄) with porous activated carbon derived from biomass waste. Particular attention is given to the FeMoO₄/carbon interface and its influence on charge transfer and catalytic performance.
The resulting hybrid material demonstrates promising activity for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It also shows strong durability during alkaline overall water splitting.
The work highlights the potential of interface engineering and sustainable carbon materials for the development of efficient electrocatalysts for hydrogen production.
