论文摘要
氧气进化反应(OER)的电催化剂是从化石到可持续能量过渡的重要组成部分。具有成本效益的地球电催化剂的商业化在很大程度上因其退化而阻碍。在这篇简短的综述中,我确定了导致电催化剂活性降低的常见过程,然后引入了主食方法,以通过电化学和其他物理表征确定降解方法,这有可能消除纯粹的电化学研究的歧义。我以对准确确定降解过程的关键挑战的摘要结束,并突出了有趣的方向,以促进对电催化剂上降解过程的理解。
Electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are an important component for the transition from fossil to sustainable energy. Commercialization of cost-effective earth-abundant electrocatalysts is in large parts hindered by their degradation. In this short review, I identify common processes leading to a decrease in electrocatalyst activity, followed by an introduction of staple methods to determine degradation electrochemically and by additional physical characterization, which has the potential to remove ambiguities of purely electrochemical studies. I conclude by a summary of the key challenges for an accurate determination of degradation processes and highlight interesting directions to advance the understanding of degradation processes on electrocatalysts.
