Hydrogen production via the electrochemical splitting of water is limited by the evolution of oxygen at the anode. Oxygen as a product is not much needed, and the OER is kinetically slow and needs a large overpotential. Therefore, alternative anodic reactions are researched which can produce valuable base chemicals while kinetically beating the OER. My research focuses on analyzing promising catalysts for these reactions starting with the oxidation of propanol as an example reaction.
