Abstract

RuO₂ has been recognized as a standard electrocatalyst for acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Nonetheless, its high cost and limited durability are still ongoing challenges. Herein, a RuO₂/Ni-Co₃O₄ heterostructure confining a heterointerface (between RuO₂ and Ni-doped Co₃O₄) is constructed to realize enhanced OER performance. Specifically, RuO₂/Ni-Co₃O₄ containing a low Ru content (2.7 ± 0.3 wt%) achieves an overpotential of 186 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm⁻² with a long-run stability (≥1300 h). Also, it exhibits a mass activity of 1202.29 mA mg_Ru^-1 at an overpotential of 250 mV, exceeding commercial RuO₂. The results disclose an optimum electron transfer at the heterointerface, wherein Ni doping improves the adsorption energy of oxygen-containing intermediates, thereby facilitating OER. This study presents an effective approach for designing highly active and stable OER electrocatalysts.

强化酸性析氧反应的RuO2/Ni-Co3O4异质结构界面工程

RuO2已被公认为酸性析氧反应（OER）的标准电催化剂。然而，它的高成本和有限的耐用性仍然是持续的挑战。本文构建了RuO2/Ni-Co3O4异质结构，约束了异质界面（RuO2与ni掺杂的Co3O4之间），以实现增强的OER性能。具体而言，含有低Ru含量（2.7±0.3 wt%）的RuO2/Ni-Co3O4在电流密度为10 mA cm-2时可获得186 mV的过电位，并具有长期稳定性（≥1300 h），在过电位为250 mV时，其质量活性为1202.29 mA mgr -1，超过商用RuO2。结果表明，在异质界面处存在最佳的电子转移，其中Ni掺杂提高了含氧中间体的吸附能，从而促进了OER。本研究为设计高效稳定的OER电催化剂提供了有效途径。
