“…Hydrogen, with its exceptional energy conversion efficiency, high energy density, and zero carbon emissions, holds great promise as novel energy future. − PEM water electrolysis offers numerous advantages, including high current density, excellent energy efficiency, and a compact design. − However, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which is a crucial half-reaction in PEM water electrolysis, presents significant challenges due to its high energy barrier. − The iridium and ruthenium combined catalysts have been the most common catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for PEMWE. Especially, iridium-based catalysts have been extensively studied due to their exceptional stability. − However, the high cost and limited reserves of iridium hinder the commercialization of PEM electrolyzes. , Ruthenium (Ru) with better OER activity, higher abundance, and lower cost is considered a suitable candidate catalyst. − However, a Ru-based catalyst exhibits poor stability under harsh acidic and anodic conditions. ,,, Therefore, high-stability Ru-based catalysts without Ir are potential cost-effective catalysts. ,, Lin et al developed Ru/MnO 2 and Ru/TiO 2 , both revealing outstanding long-term durability. , Therefore, an appropriate support for ruthenium-based catalysts may be an effective method to enhance catalyst stability due to the strong interaction between the metal with supports.…”
