the new catalyst achieved 10 mA cm−2 water-splitting current at only 1.51 V for more than 200 h
Equal to the noble metal catalysts.

Breaking down metal oxide into tiny particles increases its surface area and exposes lots of ultra-small, interconnected grain boundaries that become active sites for the water-splitting catalytic reaction. This process creates tiny particles that are strongly connected, so the catalyst has very good electrical conductivity and stability.
