	abstract = {Thin films of iridium oxide deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering have been investigated as catalysts for electrochemical water splitting in a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) cell. The sputtered films possess excellent mechanical stability and corrosion resistance at the high anodic potentials where oxygen evolution takes place. Their catalytic activity has been assessed using the conventional electrochemical methods of cyclovoltammetry and steady state polarisation techniques. A morphology factor assessing the catalyst active surface for a series of sputtered samples with varying thickness/loading has been determined and correlated to the catalytic efficiency. It has been proven that iridium oxide is a very efficient catalyst for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The best performance with anodic current density of 0.3Acm-2 at potential of 1.55V (versus RHE) has shown the 500nm thick film containing 0.2mgcm-2 catalyst. The results obtained have also demonstrated the advantages of the reactive magnetron sputtering as simple and reliable method for deposition of efficient and cost effective catalysts for PEM electrolysis application.},
