Abstract:
Keggin-type polyoxometalate anions [XM12 O40 ]n- are versatile, as their applications in interdisciplinary areas show. The Keggin anion [CoW12 O40 ]6- turns into an efficient and robust electrocatalyst upon its confinement in the well-defined void space of ZIF-8, a metal-organic framework (MOF). [H6 CoW12 O40 ]@ZIF-8 is so stable to water oxidation that it retains its initial activity even after 1000 catalytic cycles. The catalyst has a turnover frequency (TOF) of 10.8 mol O2 (mol Co)-1 s-1 , one of the highest TOFs for electrocatalytic oxygen evolution at neutral pH. Controlled experiments rule out the chances of formation and participation of CoOx in this electrocatalyic water oxidation.
