Easily prepared, high activity Ir–Ni oxide catalysts for water oxidation

Abstract

Description

Ir–Ni oxide nanoparticles were simply prepared by stirring IrCl3 and NiCl2 precursors in aqueous base under air. The activities of a series of IrNiyOx nanoparticles with different Ir-to-Ni ratios were measured toward water oxidation in 0.1 M H2SO4. The Ir-to-Ni ratio was 1:0.125 in the most active catalyst (mass normalized > 140 A g− 1 Ir, electrochemically active surface area normalized > 203 A mmol− 1Ir). The stabilized potential for the galvanostatic oxidation (1 mA cm− 2geometric) was as low as 1.51 VRHE, corresponding to 0.28 V in overpotential.
