质子交换膜电解水技术的规模化应用受到贵金属催化剂成本高昂和稳定性不足的双重制约。为此,本研究采用简易的喷涂‑氧化法,在耐酸腐蚀的钛毡基底上原位制备了具有超低钌载量的双功能催化剂RuOx/Ti。该催化剂中Ru基纳米颗粒均匀锚定于三维多孔钛骨架上,且表面富含氧空位。电化学测试表明,RuOx/Ti在酸性电解质中同时表现出优异的析氧反应和析氢反应活性。在10 mA cm-2电流密度下,析氧反应过电位仅为208 mV,析氢反应过电位低至36 mV。此外,该催化剂在持续的析氧反应和析氢反应测试中均展现出优异的长期稳定性,且法拉第效率均超过95%。进一步研究揭示,其优异的催化活性和稳定性源自丰富的氧空位对催化剂电子结构的调控,以及钌与钛基底之间的金属-载体强相互作用。该研究为低成本、高性能的酸性电解水催化剂的开发提供了新路径。

The large-scale application of proton exchange membrane water electrolysis technology is constrained by the high cost and insufficient stability of noble metal catalysts. To address this, this study employed a simple spray‑oxidation method to in situ fabricate a bifunctional catalyst, RuOx/Ti, with an ultralow ruthenium loading on an acid‑resistant titanium felt substrate. In this catalyst, Ru‑based nanoparticles are uniformly anchored on the three‑dimensional porous titanium skeleton, and the surface is rich in oxygen vacancies. Electrochemical tests demonstrate that RuOx/Ti exhibits excellent activity for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acidic electrolyte: at a current density of 10 mA cm-2, the overpotential is only 208 mV for OER and as low as 36 mV for HER. Furthermore, the catalyst shows outstanding long‑term stability during continuous OER and HER testing, with Faraday efficiencies exceeding 95% for both reactions. Further investigation reveals that its superior catalytic activity and stability originate from the modulation of the catalyst's electronic structure by abundant oxygen vacancies, as well as the strong metal‑support interaction between ruthenium and the titanium substrate. This study provides a new pathway for developing low‑cost, high‑performance bifunctional catalysts for acidic water electrolysis.
