摘要
Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is the rate-determining step for water electrolysis. Manganese oxides (MnO x ) possess five valence states, hence with multiple steps to reduce the activation energy, and semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO2) exhibits corrosion resistance. Here we demonstrate OER performance over three catalysts, of MnOx synthesized by gliding arc plasma (pM) and commercial MnOx (cM), and commercial TiO2 (cT). Of non- Faradiac process, using ideal polarized electrode (IPE), it expresses the electrode-solution interface, hence reveals the association between triple phase boundary (TPB) and activity. It suggests that, the MnOx of pM shows better activity than cM. In alkali, the former has 180 mV lower potential vs RHE, and nearly half Tafel slope. In acid, both the MnO x catalysts show step-current polarization with similar activity. Moreover, cM shows higher activity than cT, e.g., 420 mV lower potential. The revealed solution resistance, Rs is consistent with activity. For the same catalyst, the fraction in voltage drop of capacitance fCd, is also in accordance with the activity in terms of ionomer to catalyst ratio (I/C), loading and single/double layer(s). However, for the varied catalysts, e.g., cM versus cT, or pM versus cM, the fCd is inconsistent with the activity, which might result from involving the non-Faradiac process of MnO x. © 2021, Editorial Board of CIESC Journal.
