| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we proposed new Ru-based oxide catalysts, which are stable in acidic aqueous solution and active in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), for the application in zinc electrolytic smelting or other applications. Although many oxides are unstable and dissolve in acidic aqueous solutions, this study revealed that precious metal oxides, especially those containing Ru or Ir as a component, exhibit relatively high stability and activity. Based on this result, we focused our investigation on oxides containing Ru, which is cheaper than Ir, and found that the quadruple perovskite oxides ACu3Ru4O12 (A=Ca, Sr, La, Ce, Nd) have higher activities and stabilities than those of the simple perovskite oxides Sr1-xBaxRuO3.
