AuIr alloy nanoparticles were successfully prepared without using surfactants for the first time despite Au and Ir being immiscible according to phase diagrams. The lattice parameters of the AuIr alloy can be adjusted arbitrarily. The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of Au5Ir5 alloy is better than that of Au or Ir, and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) activity of the Au5Ir5 alloy is as good as that of Ir in alkaline solution.

The development of electrocatalysts that can maintain high reactivity and stability over a wide pH range during electrolysis reactions is essential for the realization of a clean hydrogen energy society. Herein, we report the synthesis of AuIr alloy nanoparticles (NPs) with an excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) performance over a wide pH range. The NPs were synthesized an antisolvent crystallization-based method and maintained their small sizes regardless of adjustments in the ratio of the Au/Ir precursor.

The absence of efficient and durable catalysts for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the main obstacle to hydrogen production through water splitting in an acidic electrolyte. Here, we report a controllable synthesis method of surface IrO with changing Au/Ir compositions by constructing a range of sub-10-nm-sized core-shell nanocatalysts composed of an Au core and AuIr alloy shell. In particular, Au@AuIr exhibits 4.

Developing efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for overall water splitting in acidic conditions is the essential step for proton exchange membrane water electrolyzers (PEMWEs). We first report the synthesis of core-shell structure nanoparticles (NPs) with an Au core and an AuIr alloy shell (Au@AuIr). Au@AuIr displayed 4.
