Heterointerface Created on Au-Cluster-Loaded Unilamellar Hydroxide Electrocatalysts as a Highly Active Site for the Oxygen Evolution Reaction

Sho Kitano et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates the loading of gold clusters on unilamellar exfoliated layered double hydroxide (ULDH) electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), forming a heterointerface between gold clusters and ULDHs as active sites, accompanied by oxidation state modulation of the active site and interfacial direct O-O coupling (interfacial DOOC). The Au-cluster-loaded ULDHs exhibit excellent activity for the OER, indicating that the interface between gold clusters and ULDHs promotes a novel OER mechanism through interfacial DOOC, achieving outstanding catalytic performance.
