Iono- and Hydrothermal synthesis and characterization of Ca-Mn Oxide catalysts for water-splitting

In this thesis, research aiming at an efficient Manganese based catalyst was carried out on the water splitting reaction. More specifically, different preparation methods and different types of ionic liquids as solvent, template and structural agent were investigated in order to study their influence and understand how the strong ionic interactions have an influence in the surface area of the resulting material
