Abstract
Through data-driven synthesis involving 24 experiments from 16,384 possible combinations (<1%), we developed two optimal electrocatalysts for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in acidic media: PtIrRuNiCo nanowires and Pt-free RuNiCo nanocages. The objective function obtained in the Bayesian optimization (BO) process is highly correlated with the experimental current density for the HOR. The RuNiCo nanocages exhibited higher HOR activity than Ru because of the suppression of the surface oxide formation. Our BO-assisted approach accelerates the development of highly active electrocatalysts without requiring high-throughput synthesis.
