Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and drop-cast (DC) films prepared from [Ru(1)3][PF6]2 and Co4POM (1= 4,4'-bis((n)nonyl)-2,2'-bipyridine, Co4POM = K10[Co4(H2O)2(α-PW9O34)2]) have been evaluated as water oxidation catalysts and their electrocatalytic performances are reported; DC films evolve more O2 per unit area than LB films and the catalyst is stable on an FTO surface for ≈500-600 minutes.
