Nano-size layered manganese-calcium oxide as an efficient and biomimetic catalyst for water oxidation under acidic conditions: comparable to platinum

Dalton Trans. 2013 Apr 14;42(14):5085-91. doi: 10.1039/c3dt32864c.

Abstract

Inspired by Nature's catalyst, a nano-size layered manganese-calcium oxide showed a low overvoltage for water oxidation in acidic solutions, which is comparable to platinum.
