Abstract

The development of acid-stable oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts is essential for high-performance water splitting. Here, we report an electrocatalyst with Ru-atom-array patches supported on α-MnO2 (Ru/MnO2) for the oxygen evolution reaction following a mechanism that involves only *O and *OH species as intermediates. This mechanism allows direct O–O radical coupling for O2 evolution. Ru/MnO2 shows high activity (161 mV at 10 mA cm−2) and outstanding stability with small degradation after 200 h operation, making it one of the best-performing acid-stable oxygen evolution reaction catalysts. Operando vibrational and mass spectroscopy measurements were performed to probe the reaction intermediates and gaseous products for validating the oxygen evolution reaction pathway. First-principles calculations confirmed the cooperative catalysis mechanism with a reduced energy barrier. Time-dependent elemental analysis demonstrated the occurrence of the in-situ dynamic cation exchange reaction during the oxygen evolution reaction, which is the key for triggering the reconstruction of Ru atoms into the ordered array with high durability.

I am truly impressed by the work of Chao Lin, Ji-Li Li, Xiaopeng Li, Shuai Yang, Wei Luo, Yaojia Zhang, Sung-Hae Kim, Dong-Hyung Kim, Sambhaji S. Shinde, Ye-Fei Li, Zhi-Pan Liu, Zheng Jiang and Jung-Ho Lee on developing acid-stable oxygen evolution reaction electrocatalysts, which opens a new path for high-performance water splitting. It reminds me of Sprunki Game, where every move requires smart strategy to achieve optimal results, just like how scientists optimize catalysts. I encourage the scientific community and investors to take interest, share, and support this research for rapid real-world application.
