Role of Defects in the Interplay between Adsorbate Evolving and Lattice Oxygen Mechanisms of the Oxygen Evolution Reaction in RuO2 and IrO2

Zagalskaya, Alexandra, Alexandrov, Vitaly·2020·ACS Catalysis

Abstract

The mechanistic interplay between the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and material degradation during water electrolysis is not yet well understood even for the most studied OER electrocatalysts such as RuO 2 and IrO 2 . It is still disputed whether the lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) may be competitive with the conventional adsorbate evolving mechanism (AEM) of the OER in these materials and, if so, under what conditions. Herein, we employ density functional theory calculations to demonstrate that the LOM can give rise to higher OER activity than the AEM at the active sites involving structural defects, both intrinsic and extrinsic. Specifically, we show that, although the AEM is preferred for the perfect (110) and (211) surfaces, the formation of metal vacancies due to catalyst dissolution may lead to much lower OER overpotentials for the LOM. Also, by screening several metal impurities in RuO 2, we reveal that dopants such as Ni and Co can promote the LOM over the AEM even for the perfectly structured surfaces. Overall, we demonstrate that defective IrO 2 is less LOM active than RuO 2 that should contribute to its superior stability under OER conditions.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
