- Tackling activity-stability paradox of reconstructed NiIrOx electrocatalysts by bridged W-O moiety (2024) · Nature Communications · cited 64× · doi
The activity-stability paradox of surface reconstructed IrOx is a significant challenge in the development of Ir-based electrocatalysts. The prior work has focused on improving the efficiency of Ir-based electrocatalysts, but the stability remains a concern. The customization of the electronic structure through the incorporation of W into NiIrOx is a novel approach to enhance the efficacy and stability of oxygen evolution reaction.
