My experience with AgO or MnO and MnO2 as a HO-OH detection film
or destroyer (with help from Sandia Labs ca 1990)
(MnO2 will plate on a metal anode using KMnO4) , suggests that O2
has to be involved with the "Hydroxene" Water Fuel.
Many alloys contain Manganese (Manganin for example)
that readily form MnO and MnO2 on the surface:
2 MnO + O2 ----> 2 MnO2
H2O (on a metal surface) H-OH + M <----> H + OH:M
H + MnO2 -----> OH + MnO
Lots of Choices to try. :-)
Overall: 2 H2O + O2 + M <----> 4 OH + M (where M is a metal or Metal Oxide)
