Summary: By self-assembling unconventional fcc Ru3Ir nanocrystals into a two-dimensional structure, a macro-nano catalyst with high activity and stability has been created. This catalyst exhibits a low overpotential of 190 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and maintains this performance for over 400 hours or 10,000 potential cycles in acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), surpassing previous metallic-based catalysts. The high activity is attributed to self-reconstructed surface Ru3IrOx species during OER, which are electronically modulated by the fcc-Ru3Ir substrate and lower the energy barrier of the potential-determining step.

Summary: In this study, iridium nanocrystals embedded into 3D conductive clothes (Ir-NCT/CC) are reported as a low iridium electrocatalyst realizing ultrahigh acidic OER activity and robust stability. The well-designed Ir-NCT/CC requires a low overpotential of 202 mV to reach the current density of 10 mA cm-2 with a high mass activity of 1754 A g-1. Importantly, in acidic overall water splitting, Ir-NCT/CC delivers a cell voltage of 1.469 V at a typical current density of 10 mA cm-2 and maintains robust durability under continuous operation. The formation of a highly stable amorphous IrOx active phase over the surface of Ir nanocrystals (surface heterojunction IrOx/Ir-NCT) during operating conditions contributes to an effective and durable OER process.

This study reports an atomically dispersed Ru/Co dual-sites catalyst anchored on N-doped carbon (Ru/Co-N-C) for excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in both acidic and alkaline electrolytes. The catalyst shows superior performance compared to benchmark catalysts Pt/C and RuO2, with low overpotentials and high current densities.

Furthermore, the incorporation of Co-N4 sites improves the corrosion-resistance of Ru/Co-N-C during electrolysis.
