Herein, we propose an intriguing light-driven orderly assembly strategy for implanting Ir-chains and clusters onto catalyst surfaces with different order degrees. Interestingly, the dynamic orbital interaction between orderly Ir-atomic chains and clusters can be regulated by balancing the dissolution and redisposition rate. As a result, the activation energy in acidic OER can be effectively reduced by integrating a dynamic reaction pathway.
Abstract
This work suggests an intriguing light-driven atomic assembly proposal to orderly configure the distribution of reactive sites to optimize the spin-entropy-related orbital interaction and charge transfer from electrocatalysts to intermediates. Herein, the introduced fluorine (F) atoms acting as photo-corrosion centres in MnO1.9F0.1 effectively soften the bonding interaction of Mn−O bonds in the IrCl3 solution. Therefore, partial Mn atoms can be successively replaced to form orderly atomic-hybridized catalysts with a spin-related low entropy due to the coexistence of Ir-atomic chains and clusters. The time-related elemental analysis demonstrates that the dynamic dissolution/redeposition of Ir clusters in acidic oxygen evolution leads to a reintegration of the reaction pathway to seek the switchable rate-limiting step with a lower activation energy.
