    Study Notes

    • Basic and acidic mediums improve OER and HER kinetics respectively
    • Bifunctional catalysts are desired to simplify electrode architecture and reduce costs
    • OER process is kinetically slow compared to HER
    • Decoupled water electrolysis model separates OER and HER compartments with redox mediator (RDM)
    • RDM prevents mixing of H2/O2 and partially prevents formation of oxygen species
    • RDM oxidizes itself in solution instead of typical OER process
    • Bifunctional catalysts can catalyze both OER and HER at neutral pH
    • OER process cannot meet the number of electrons needed for reduction of protons on counter electrode
    • Deployment of bifunctional catalysts can significantly reduce cost of water splitting process
    • Electrode setup becomes more complex while assembling separate compartments for redox reactions.
