Abstract

Developing efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting in acidic conditions is the essential step for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs). We first report the synthesis of core–shell structure nanoparticles (NPs) with an Au core and an AuIr 2 alloy shell ( [email protected] 2 ). [email protected] 2 displayed 4.6 (5.6) times higher intrinsic (mass) activity toward the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) than a commercial Ir catalyst. Furthermore, it showed hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic properties comparable to those of commercial Pt/C. Significantly, when [email protected] 2 was used as both the anode and cathode catalyst, the overall water splitting cell achieved 10 mA/cm 2 with a low cell voltage of 1.55 V and maintained this activity for more than 40 h, which greatly outperformed the commercial couples (Ir/C||Pt/C, 1.63 V, activity decreased within minutes) and is among the most efficient bifunctional catalysts reported. Theoretical calculations coupled with X-ray-based structural analyses suggest that partially oxidized surfaces originating from the electronic interaction between Au and Ir provide a balance for different intermediates binding and realize significantly enhanced OER performance.

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.
