title: A hard-template method for the preparation of IrO(2) , and its performance in a solid-polymer-electrolyte water electrolyzer.
abstract: Morphological control by SBA-15: The performance of catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) depends strongly on their structural and morphological properties. An IrO(2)  nanomaterial with a morphology suitable for the OER is prepared by using a synthetic scheme involving a zeolite template, and shows enhanced activity and stability compared to IrO(2)  fabricated by the traditional Adams-fusion method.
