Abstract

In the domain of acidic water splitting,designing bifunctional catalysts that marry high activity with enduring stability is a formidable challenge.Herein,we have constructed platinum-containing ruthenium oxide nano-particles(Pt@RuOx NPs)to achieve excellent overall water splitting performance in acidic electrolytes.Pt@RuOx NPs demonstrate exceptional catalytic activity for both the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER)in acidic seawater,requiring overpotentials of only 20 and 157 mV,respectively to achieve a current density of 10 mA cm-2.Furthermore,in 0.5 M H2SO4,this catalyst exhibits high HER(19 mV)and OER(236 mV)catalytic activities.The two-electrode water splitting system composed of bifunctional Pt@RuOx NPs requires cell voltages of only 1.442 and 1.465 V to deliver a current density of 10 mA cm-2 in acidic seawater and 0.5 M H2SO4.Remarkably,this catalyst displays remarkable stability in the water splitting process.It is shown that the introduction of Pt could augment oxygen vacancies and enhance catalytic activity signifi-cantly.The synergy between Pt and Ru further contributes to the improved performance.Additionally,we have observed that acidic seawater holds distinct advantages for acidic water splitting,along with a thorough explo-ration of the relationship between Cl-concentration and catalytic performance.This study not only provides a strategy to improve the catalytic activity and stability of ruthenium-based catalysts for water splitting in acidic environments,but also unveils the promoting effect of Cl-on the catalytic activity in acidic water splitting.
