RuO2 electronic structure and lattice strain dual engineering for enhanced acidic oxygen evolution reaction performance

QYQin YinTYTingting YuSDSihao Deng

Key Points

  • This research aims to improve the performance of catalysts for the acidic oxygen evolution reaction through structural engineering.
  • Engineered RuO2 electronic structure and lattice strain alterations to optimize performance.
  • Activated dangling O atoms near Ru sites to enhance proton acceptance during reactions.
  • Dramatic enhancement in activity observed due to stabilizing OOH* interactions.
  • Significant improvements in catalyst efficiency for water splitting were evident.

Abstract

and activates the dangling O atom near the Ru active site as a proton acceptor, which stabilizes the OOH* and dramatically enhances the activity. This work provides an effective strategy to develop highly efficient catalyst towards water splitting.
