Mugihe cya acide, IrO 2 yerekana ibikorwa bya catalitiki cyane ugereranije nubwihindurize bwa ogisijeni (OER).
Umusemburo wa hydrogène ukoresheje electrolysis yamazi ninzira nziza kandi irambye.Cathode hydrogen ihindagurika (HER) mumazi ya electrolysis iterwa cyane nibikoresho bishingiye kuri platine hamwe na anode ya ogisijeni ihindagurika (OER) kuri okiside ya iridium na okiside ya ruthenium (platine)., Iridium, na ruthenium byose ni ibyuma byagaciro).
Ikoreshwa cyane rya lisansi yingirabuzimafatizo ya electrocatalysis zirimo cyane cyane RuO2 na IrO2.Bitewe n’amashanyarazi adahagije, ikoreshwa rya RuO2 rishingiye ku ngirabuzimafatizo za peteroli zaragabanutse.Nubwo ibikorwa bya catalitiki ya IrO2 bitameze neza nkibya RuO2 bishingiye ku bufatanye, amashanyarazi y’amashanyarazi y’ibintu bishingiye kuri IrO2 aruta ay'ibintu bishingiye kuri RuO2.Kubwibyo, duhereye ku gutekana, ibice bishingiye kuri IrO2 bikoreshwa mu ngirabuzimafatizo nshya.Ubushinwa bufite ibyifuzo byinshi.
