Electrochemical water splitting constitutes one of the most promising strategies for converting water into hydrogen-based fuels, and this technology is predicted to play a key role in our transition towards a carbon-neutral energy economy. To enable the design of cost-effective electrolysis cells based on this technology, new and more efficient anodes with augmented water splitting activity and stability will be required. Herein, we report an active molecular Ru-based catalyst for electrochemically-driven water oxidation and two simple methods for preparing anodes by attaching this catalyst onto multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The anodes modified with the molecular catalyst were characterized by a broad toolbox of microscopy and spectroscope techniques, and interestingly no RuO2 formation was detected during electrocatalysis over 4 h. These results demonstrate that the herein presented strategy can be used to prepare anodes that rival the performance of state-of-the-art metal oxide anodes.

Projected future global energy demands require sustainable energy sources as alternatives to the current world dependence on hydrocarbon fuels. The production of hydrogen and oxygen gas from water is a promising approach. Currently, water-splitting electrolyzers require precious metals as electrocalysts because they are active and stable. Yet, replacement of these precious metals by cost-effective alternatives is necessary for the economic feasibility of this approach. Here, we describe a molecular based polymeric approach that effectively removes the need to use any metal to electrochemically split water. The incorporation of free-base porphyrin units into a 2D network structure yields a stable and efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for water oxidation and water reduction that can operate for days at competitive overpotentials comparable to metal based ones. <br><br><br>
