摘要 In harsh acidic environments, there remains a demand for catalysts that possess both high activity and stability, enabling them to efficiently enhance the slow kinetics of the hydrogen evolution reaction and oxygen evolution reaction, which are crucial for the advancement of proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers. Herein, a bifunctional electrocatalyst was designed by synergistically modulating the electronic and coordination properties. The IrOx/MnOx catalyst was successfully created, surpassing the activity and stability limitations of IrO2 catalysts for acidic overall water splitting, thereby pushing the boundaries of electrocatalytic performance. When used as both electrodes in an overall water-splitting cell, the IrOx/MnOx catalyst achieved a current density of 10 mA cm–2 at 1.51 V for 36 h without any noticeable degradation, which greatly outperformed the commercial couples (Pt/C||IrO2, 1.65 V) in acidic media. Of greater significance, X-ray absorption spectroscopy deciphered that the unsaturated Ir centers, which have an electron-rich nature, can lower energy barriers associated with the proton adsorption and desorption and oxygenated reactant species through a self-adaptive surface reconstruction process. This work introduces an approach to boost the intrinsic performance of catalysts for overall water splitting by constructing unsaturated coordination centers, offering a promising strategy for catalyst design.
