I am really interested in work of this nature since my phd chemist days. One of the key challenges I've seen in similar systems is the oxygen evolution reaction due to the 4e- required to complete the process. How have you resolved this in your system, and do you think this could help other open problems that seem to suffer from OER bottleneck?

From my understanding, OER occurs when splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen and can happen in biological and electrochemical systems. In the former plants use energy from sunlight to extract the electrons from water whereas in the latter, energy from electricity is used. In our process we use hydrogen that is oroduced elsewhere, it isn't part of our technology so we don't run into this issue.

my apologies this was intended to be a reply to the thread on https://www.sunhydrogen.com/technology. Sorry for the confusion!
