RuO₂nanoparticles anchored on g-C₃N₄as an efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst for water splitting in acidic media

Abstract

The electrolysis of water, particularly the proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolysis, holds great promise for hydrogen production in industry. However, the catalyst used in the process is prone to...

Sol–gel-derived nanostructured electrocatalysts for oxygen evolution reaction: a review

“…RuO 2 nanoparticles were uniformly incorporated on the large surface of g-C 3 N 4 , where the interaction between the two components promoted the stability of both the RuO 2 particles and long-term water oxidation. 157 Overall, the unique materialistic and compositional advantages resulted in exceptional properties with an overpotential of 240 mV for OER and 109 mV for HER, both at 10 mA cm −2 . Also, strong durability for over 28 h was further demonstrated, together with a cell voltage of 1.607 V at 10 mA cm −2 .…”
