In this presentation, we report that the highly conductive nanoporous architecture of an iridium oxide shell on a metallic iridium core, formed through the fast dealloying of less noble metal from an Ir-based alloy, exhibits an exceptional balance between oxygen evolution activity and stability as quantified by the activity-stability factor. On the basis of this metric, the nanoporous Ir/IrO2 morphology of dealloyed structure shows a factor of ~30 improvement in activity-stability factor relative to conventional iridium-based oxide materials, and an ~8 times improvement over dealloyed Ir-based nanoparticles due to optimized stability and conductivity, respectively. We propose that the activity-stability factor is a key “metric” for determining the technological relevance and the dealloying process is a promising approach for the development a highly active and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction. |
