Abstract
Boosting the reaction stability without sacrificing the activity and cost is extremely important but full of challenges for the RuO2-based oxygen evolution catalysts. Herein, porous and B-site substituted Y2[Mn0.2Ru0.8]2O7 (p-Y2[Mn0.2Ru0.8]2O7) pyrochlore toward oxygen evolution reaction is innovatively synthesized. The formed meso-/macroporous structure can increase the specific surface area and corresponding active sites, meanwhile, Mn-substitution can modulate the electronic structure, stabilize the morphology, and reduce the dosage of Ru species. Interestingly, the p-Y2[Mn0.2Ru0.8]2O7 performs 50 h stable operation, significantly outperforming the commercial RuO2(CM) counterpart with less than 2 h life. Furthermore, the required overpotential to achieve 10 mA cm−2 is only 266 mV, accompanied with favorable reaction kinetics and catalyst utilization.
