Ir-based electrocatalysts for facile ethanol oxidation reaction: effect of support, loading, and alloying with Ru

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: at 0.1 V. Benchmarked against commercial Pt, all Ir-based catalysts exhibit onset potentials 300-400 mV earlier and peak potentials 150-200 mV lower than Pt. These results establish electronic, geometric, and bifunctional descriptors as an integrated design strategy for next-generation DEFC anode catalysts, positioning IrRu/C as the superior candidate among the series investigated.
