Standard Operating Procedure

Material heterogenization is a simple process and can be carried out in the following conditions: at ambient temperature, in air, with no additives, applied potential or other treatments. For most metal oxide or carbon-based substrates:

  1. Dip the substrate in het-WOC deposition solution (or disperse powders, if powder).
  2. Wait 4 to 12 hours (typically overnight).
  3. Remove the substrate from solution (or filter out powder) and wash with clean water.

This will result in the deposition of the monolayer Ir material on the substrate, with a surface structure as shown1 (TEM image on iron oxide shown to the right):

In order to increase the coverage of het-WOC deposition solution across large substrates, the solution can be diluted.

As mentioned in the SDS, the het-WOC deposition solution mostly contains water, therefore dilution with water is best. Also, the het-WOC deposition solution can be re-used repetitively to load numerous substrates with the Ir monolayer. Each loading employs just a small amount of the Ir present in solution, albeit this depends on the substrate’s surface area.
