Improvement of the electrochemical oxidation of water by nanostructured Fe 2 O 3 electrodes Nanostructured surfaces increase the eciency of the electrochemical oxidation of water. A catalyst surface for the oxidation of neutral pH is prepared carrying out atomic layer deposition of Fe 2 O 3 from ferrocene and ozone onto a substrate. By generating membranes with accurately tunable diameter and length the impact of the geometry on the Fe 2 O 3 electrodes eciency can directly be measured. It could be shown that an increase in the pores diameter and length leads due to an enhanced speci c surface area to an increase in the electrochemical current density.

Nanostructured surfaces increase the efficiency of the
electrochemical oxidation of water. A catalyst surface for the
oxidation of neutral pH is prepared by carrying out atomic layer
deposition of from ferrocene and ozone onto a substrate. By
generating membranes with accurately tunable diameter and length
the impact of the geometry on the electrodes efficiency can
directly be measured. It could be shown that an increase in the
pores diameter and length leads due to an enhanced specific surface
area to an increase in the electrochemical current density.
