Abstract
Abstract After pretreatment with hydrogen at elevated temperatures, some transition metal orthosilicates are electrocatalytically active with respect to the oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline solution. Current-voltage data are given for the Co and Fe orthosilicates. The former appear to be stable at anodic potentials. However, the Fe2SiO4 corrodes, which appears to restrict its usefulness as a catalytically active material for this reaction. The compounds showed no significant activity for other electrochemical reactions, for example, hydrogen evolution or oxygen reduction.
