Lewis Acid-Mediated Interfacial Water Supply for Sustainable Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis
Abstract
The catalyst–electrolyte interface plays a crucial role in proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE). However, optimizing the interfacial hydrogen bonding to enhance both catalytic activity and stability remains a significant challenge. Here, a novel catalyst design strategy is proposed based on the hard–soft acid–base principle, employing hard Lewis acids (LAs = ZrO 2, TiO 2, HfO 2 ) to mediate the reconfiguration of interfacial hydrogen bonding, thereby enhancing the acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance of RuO 2 . Mechanistic analysis indicates that LAs prompt a directional evolution from a rigid hydrogen bonding network to free water, enhancing the trapping of interfacial water on the RuO 2 surface, which continuously supplies reactants to the catalytic sites. Moreover, the interconnected hydrogen bonding network facilitates rapid proton transfer, reducing local acidity on the catalyst surface and preventing structural corrosion, thus significantly improving long-term stability. The tandem pathway of water supply and deprotonation transforms the dissolution mechanism of traditional Ru-based catalysts, emphasizing the widespread applicability. Consequently, ZrO 2 –RuO 2 displays a significantly reduced overpotential of 170 mV and exhibits high durability, sustaining 1800 h at 10 mA cm –2 under acidic OER, and maintains robust activity for 100 h at 2 A cm –2 in PEMWE, outperforming most Ru/Ir-based catalysts.

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.
