Some 200 years ago, Elizabeth Fulhame, a Scottish chemist, came across the power of catalysts – a material that speeds up a chemical reaction without being consumed during the process. In our day, Stockholm university chemists have been part of a large multinational consortium developing a new hybrid material (metal-hydroxide-organic frameworks, MHOFs) that can use the process of catalysis to speed up the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This work has just been published in Nature Materials.
