“…Since HER, OER, and ORR occur in completely different potential windows, few commercially available catalysts can act as multifunctional electrocatalysts; more specifically, the best OER catalyst usually has poor HER activity, while the best ORR catalyst does not have the best OER catalysis performance, and vice versa ( Li et al, 2019 ). Currently, the best electrocatalysts for HER and ORR are Pt-based materials, while RuO 2 and IrO 2 exhibit the best OER electrocatalytic activity ( Li et al, 2019 ; Devadas et al, 2020 ; Xie et al, 2020 ; Jin et al, 2022 ; Milikić et al, 2023 ). However, despite their high catalytic activity toward OER and their potential for use as efficient bifunctional HER/OER catalysts, both RuO 2 and IrO 2 are limited by their poor long-term stability, natural scarcity, and high price ( Guan et al, 2018 ; Liang et al, 2020 ).…”
