In this study, constructing strong oxide-support interaction (SOSI), ultrafine iridium oxide nanoclusters were anchored on a vanadium oxide support, leading to significant performance enhancement in the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The distorted IrO2 active sites in the catalyst facilitate the O-O coupling process, resulting in low overpotentials and high-performance water electrolysis over a broad pH range. SOSI also ensures the stability of the catalyst.
Constructing strong oxide-support interaction (SOSI) is compelling for modulating the atomic configurations and electronic structures of supported catalysts. Herein, ultrafine iridium oxide nanoclusters (approximate to 1 nm) are anchored on vanadium oxide support (IrO2/V2O5) via SOSI. The as made catalyst, with a unique distorted IrO2 structure, is discovered to significantly boost the performance for pH-universal oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Based on experimental results and theoretical calculations, the distorted IrO2 active sites with flexible redox states in IrO2/V2O5 server as electrophilic centers balance the adsorption of oxo-intermediates and effectively facilitate the process of O-O coupling, eventually propelling the fast turnover of water oxidation. As a result, IrO2/V2O5 demonstrates not only ultralow overpotentials at 10 mA cm(-2) (266 mV, pH = 0; 329 mV, pH = 7; 283 mV, pH = 14) for OER, but also high-performance overall water electrolysis over a broad pH range, with a potential of mere 1.50 V (pH = 0), 1.65 V (pH = 7) or 1.49 V (pH = 14) at 10 mA cm(-2). In addition, SOSI can simultaneously secure the distorted active sites and thus remarkably improving the catalytic stability, making it a promising strategy to develop high-performance catalytic systems.
