Mechanism of water oxidation by nanolayered manganese oxide: a step forward†
Abstract
We, for the first time, estimate the rate of H218O exchange for μ-O groups on the surface of nanolayered Mn–K oxide by diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy. These results, in addition to results from previously reported membrane-inlet mass spectrometry, provide new insights into the mechanism of water oxidation by nanolayered Mn oxide.
