A soluble copper–bipyridine water-oxidation electrocatalyst

Nature Chemistry 4, 498 (2012).
doi:10.1038/nchem.1350

Authors: Shoshanna M. Barnett, Karen I. Goldberg & James M. Mayer
Copper and bipyridine (bpy) self-assemble in aqueous solutions at high pH into an active electrocatalyst for the oxidation of water to O2, one of the great challenges in energy catalysis. These solutions contain primarily (bpy)Cu(OH)2, and are robust and active catalysts, albeit at high overpotentials.
