摘要: | proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (pemwe) is a highly promising hydrogen production technology for enabling a sustainable energy supply. herein, we synthesize a single-atom co-doped core–shell heterostructured ru@ruo2 (co-ru@ruo2) catalyst via a combination of ultrafast pulse-heating and calcination methods as an iridium (ir)-free and durable oxygen evolution reaction (oer) catalyst in acidic conditions. co-ru@ruo2 exhibits a low overpotential of 203 mv and excellent stability over a 400 h durability test at 10 ma cm–2. when implemented in industrial pemwe devices, a current density of 1 a cm–2 is achieved with only 1.58 v under an extremely low catalyst loading of 0.34 mgru cm–2, which is decreased by 4 to 6 times as compared to other reported ru-based catalysts. even at 500 ma cm–2, the pemwe device could work stably for more than 200 h. structural characterizations and density functional theory (dft) calculations reveal that the single-atom co doping and the core–shell heterostructure of ru@ruo2 modulate the electronic structure of pristine ruo2, which reduce the energy barriers of oer and improve the stability of surface ru. this work provides a unique avenue to guide future developments on low-cost pemwe devices for hydrogen production. |
