Abstract: A nanofibrous catalyst for in the electrolyzer and methods of making the catalyst. The catalysts are composed of highly porous transition metal carbonitrides, metal oxides or perovskites derived from the metal-organic frameworks and integrated into a 3D porous nano-network electrode architecture. The catalysts are low-cost, highly active toward OER, with excellent conductivity yet resistant to the oxidation under high potential operable under both acidic and alkaline environments.

Abstract: Prussian blue analog derived catalysts having a composition of highly porous transition metal (“TM”) oxides with nano particle size. Such OER catalysts are synthesized from the PBA, containing cobalt, iron, nickel, copper, manganese, zinc, magnesium etc., as secondary building units (“SBUs”) coordinated by hexacyano-based ligands. Furthermore, the PBA-derived catalysts may also integrated into a highly graphitized carbon network to further improve the conductivity, mass transport and durability against oxidative corrosion.
