Enhancing iridium (Ir)-based electrocatalysts to achieve high activity and robust durability for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in acidic environments has been an ongoing mission in the commercialization of proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers. In this study, we present the synthesis of carbon-supported Ir nanoparticles (NPs) using a modified impregnation method followed by solid-state reduction, with Ir loadings of 20 and 40 wt % on carbon. Among the catalysts, the sample with an Ir loading of 20 wt % synthesized at 1000 °C with a heating rate of 300 °C/h demonstrated the highest massnormalized OER performance of 1209 A g Ir −1 and an OER current retention of 80% after 1000 cycles of cyclic voltammetry (CV). High-resolution STEM images confirmed the uniform dispersion of NPs, with diameters of 1.6 ± 0.4 nm across the support. XPS analysis revealed that the C−O and C�O peaks shifted slightly toward higher binding energies for the best-performing catalyst. In comparison, the metallic Ir state shifted toward lower binding energies compared to other samples. This suggests electron transfer from the carbon support to the Ir NPs, indicating a potential interaction between the catalyst and the support. This work underscores the strong potential of the solid-state method for the scalable synthesis of supported Ir catalysts.
