Abstract
Developing high-performance electrocatalysts for water splitting in both acidic and basic electrolytes is of significance for hydrogen production. Despite the great advances achieved, efficient design and synthesis of electrocatalysts with the same chemical composition for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution in the same electrolyte is still expected. Herein, a series of Ir/IrOx/WO3 electrocatalysts, synthesized via electrospinning and subsequent pyrolysis, delivered high performance for both hydrogen and oxygen evolution in acidic and basic environments. Among them, Ir/IrOx/WO3 calcinated at 350 °C delivered the best activity for oxygen evolution through a lattice oxygen mediated pathway. Ir/IrOx/WO3 treated at 450 °C exhibited the highest activity for hydrogen evolution in both acidic and basic electrolytes due to the enhanced adsorption of active hydrogen species in the acidic electrolyte and promoted water dissociation in the basic electrolyte, respectively. Thereafter, coupling two electrocatalysts as the cathode and the anode delivered high performance for overall water splitting in both acidic and basic electrolytes.
期刊介绍：
Materials Chemistry Frontiers focuses on the synthesis and chemistry of exciting new materials, and the development of improved fabrication techniques. Characterisation and fundamental studies that are of broad appeal are also welcome.
This is the ideal home for studies of a significant nature that further the development of organic, inorganic, composite and nano-materials.
