Abstract

The oxygen evolving catalyst [Ru4(μ-OH)2(μ-O)4(H2O)4(γ-SiW10O36)2]10− effects H2O2 dismutation at rates (k = 36.8 ± 1.4 M−1 s−1), one/two order of magnitude higher compared to related tetra-substituted Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and even Co polyoxometalates, thus providing localised oxygen gas bursts to power nano-propulsion of composite materials.
