Abstract:Developing stable and highly active electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic media holds significant importance for proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis. Here, we report a carbon-protected, low Ru-doped cobalt oxide nanosheet array electrode (C−Ru−Co 3 O 4 ) for acid OER. The doping of Ru adjusts the electronic structure, optimizing the adsorption of reaction intermediates. Additionally, amorphous carbon, derived from polydopamine, effectively inhibits the overoxidation of Ru−C… Show more
