in seawater, and a mass activity 26-fold higher than Pt/C. Operando Raman spectroscopy reveals pre-equilibrium halide activation preceding chlorine evolution, consistent with a Volmer-Tafel mechanism enabled by adjacent electronically coupled Pt sites. These findings establish amorphization-induced electronic interface engineering as a powerful strategy to simultaneously activate, stabilize, and synergistically accelerate electrocatalytic halogen evolution.
