Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Water electrolysis using electric power generated by renewable energy is attracted as clean sustanable hydrogen production method. Especially, steam electrolysis using solid electrolyte cells is promising for efficient hydrogen production because high-temperature heat partly offers the energy for water electrolysis, leading favorable kinetics and thermodynamics. However, sufficient performance has not be achieved yet in the current SOEC system because large overpotential is needed for oxygen evolution reaction at anode. Herein, we examined electrocatalytic performance of high valence state Mn(V) oxide Ba3(MnO4)2 as an anode of SOEC. It has been found that the Ba3(MnO4)2 is promising for oxygen evolution electrode in proton-conducting solid oxide base electrolysis cell. The high electrocatalytic performance could be attributed to the presence of 'active' holes on O 2P states in high valence state orthomanganite(V) anions.
