Research Advances of Non-Noble Metal Catalysts for Oxygen Evolution Reaction in Acid.

Water splitting is an important way to obtain hydrogen applied in clean energy, which mainly consists of two half-reactions: hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the kinetics of the OER of water splitting, which occurs at the anode, is slow and inefficient, especially in acid. Currently, the main OER catalysts are still based on noble metals, such as Ir and Ru, which are the main active components.

Effects of Compaction Velocity on the Sinterability of Al-Fe-Cr-Ti PM Alloy.

In this research, the effects of the compaction velocity on the sinterability of the Al-Fe-Cr-Ti powder metallurgy (PM) alloy by high velocity compaction were investigated. The Al-Fe-Cr-Ti alloy powder was compacted with different velocities by high velocity compaction and then sintered under a flow of high pure (99.999 wt%) nitrogen gas.
