Engineering a Proton-Regulating Interfacial Microenvironment for Durable RuO2 Electrocatalysis in PEM Water Electrolysis
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis is a technology for hydrogen production, but its deployment is limited by the cost and durability of acidic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts. RuO2 exhibits intrinsic OER activity yet degrades rapidly under high-current-density operation and start–stop cycles....
