Atomically dispersed dinuclear iridium active sites for efficient and stable electrocatalytic chlorine evolution reaction.

The electrochemical chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is a critical anode reaction in chlor-alkali electrolysis. Although precious metal-based mixed metal oxides (MMOs) have long been used as CER catalysts, they suffer from high cost and poor selectivity due to the competing oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Single-atom catalysts (SACs), featuring high atom utilization efficiency, have captured widespread interest in diverse applications.

Stabilization of the Active Ruthenium Oxycarbonate Phase for Low-Temperature CO Methanation.

Interstitial carbon-doped RuO catalyst with the newly reported ruthenium oxycarbonate phase is a key component for low-temperature CO methanation. However, a crucial factor is the stability of interstitial carbon atoms, which can cause catalyst deactivation when removed during the reaction. In this work, the stabilization mechanism of the ruthenium oxycarbonate active phase under reaction conditions is studied by combining advanced operando spectroscopic tools with catalytic studies.
