Effect of the degree of non-hydrogen-bonded water (DNHBW) on the efficiency of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) at an indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode in 1 N NaOH and its in situ experiment based on a roughened Au electrode.
(a) LSV for the OER in deionized (DI) water- and gold nanoparticle-treated under resonant illumination (sAuNT) water-based solutions. (b) Effect of DNHBW of water on the increased current density in the OER. (c) Experiments of in situ breaking of hydrogen bonds of water combining the OER at an electrochemically roughened Au electrode in alkaline electrolyte of 1 N NaOH. LSV for DI (solid line) and sAuNT (dot) water-based systems on the roughened Au electrode in the dark without illumination. LSV for DI (dash) and sAuNT (dash dot) water-based systems on a roughened Au electrode under resonant illumination.
