Abstract
The development of efficient and durable oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts is crucial for advancing proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) technology, especially in the pursuit of non-iridium alternatives. Herein, we report a Zn, W co-doping Ru3Zn0.85W0.15Ox (RZW) ternary oxide catalyst that exhibits a low overpotential of 200 mV and remarkable stability for over 4000 hours at 10 mA cm-2 in 0.1 M HClO4. The incorporation of highly electronegative W facilitates the efficient capture of electrons released from the sacrificial Zn species during OER, and subsequently mediated to Ru sites. The observed enhancement in electron density within the stable Ru-O-W motifs substantially improve the anti-overoxidation properties of the Ru active sites. Our findings highlight the importance of strategic metal doping in modulating the electronic structure of OER catalysts during operation, thereby facilitating the development of practical and long-lasting water electrolysis technologies.
开发高效、耐用的析氧反应(OER)催化剂对于推进质子交换膜水电解(PEMWE)技术,特别是寻求无铱替代品至关重要。本文报道了一种Zn, W共掺杂Ru3Zn0.85W0.15Ox (RZW)三元氧化物催化剂,该催化剂具有200 mV的低过电位,并且在0.1 M HClO4中,在10 mA cm-2条件下具有超过4000小时的稳定性。高电负性W的加入促进了OER过程中牺牲Zn释放的电子的有效捕获,并随后介导到Ru位点。在稳定的Ru- o - w基序中观察到的电子密度的增强大大提高了Ru活性位点的抗过氧化性能。我们的研究结果强调了战略性金属掺杂在OER催化剂运行过程中调节电子结构的重要性,从而促进了实用和持久的水电解技术的发展。
