Water oxidation to oxygen by cerium(IV) ions mediated by ruthenium dioxide catalyst

John Kiwi,   Michael Grätzel  and  George Blondeel  

Abstract

Cerium(IV) ions are shown to oxidize water to O2 in the presence of RuO2 catalyst in 0.5 mol dm–3 H2SO4 solution. The yield of oxygen depends strongly on the relative concentrations of Ce4+ and RuO2. High ratios of Ce4+ to RuO2 favour corrosion of the catalyst, a fact which is explained by electrochemical concepts. Our results are discussed in relation to an earlier proposition concerning the mechanism of the water oxidation reaction by Ce4+ ions in this system.
