Synthesis and oxygen evolution reaction performance investigation of novel Ru, Ir based two-dimensional metal oxide composite nanomaterials

This project focuses on developing novel two-dimensional ruthenium- and iridium-based metal oxide composite nanomaterials to enhance the oxygen evolution reaction in acidic water electrolysis. By engineering crystal phases, interfaces, and electronic structures at the atomic scale, the project aims to overcome efficiency and durability limitations of current PEM water electrolyzer catalysts.

Special Features & Advantages

• Two-dimensional architectures with high atomic utilization
• Enhanced charge transport and oxygen intermediate migration
• High activity and long-term stability under acidic conditions
• Reduced noble-metal loading and improved cost efficiency

Potential Application Areas

• Proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers
• Green hydrogen and oxygen production

Renewable energy storage and power-to-hydrogen systems
