Atomic Metal-Support Interaction Enables Reconstruction-Free Dual-Site Electrocatalyst

Huachuan Sun et al.

Summary: Real bifunctional electrocatalysts for water splitting should exhibit steady configuration without irreversible structural transformation or surface reconstruction. Through strong metal-support interaction, single-atom dispersed Ru catalysts decorating onto nickel-vanadium LDH scaffold show excellent HER and OER activities without the need for reconstruction. The proposed Ru/Ni3V-LDH is a stable bifunctional electrocatalyst with strong metal-support interaction, suitable for catalyzing water splitting reactions effectively.
