Trends in activity and dissolution on RuO2 under oxygen evolution conditions: particles versus well-defined extended surfaces
, ACS Energy Letters, Vol: 3, Pages: 2045-2051, ISSN: 2380-8195Rutile RuO2 catalysts are the most active pure metal oxides for oxygen evolution; however, they are also unstable toward dissolution. Herein, we study the catalytic activity and stability of oriented thin films of RuO2 with (111), (101), and (001) orientations, in comparison to a (110) single crystal and commercial nanoparticles. These surfaces were all tested in aqueous solutions of 0.05 M H2SO4. The initial catalyst activity ranked as follows: (001) > (101) > (111) ≈ (110). We complemented our activity data with inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy, to measure Ru dissolution products occurring in parallel to oxygen evolution. In contrast to earlier reports, we find that, under our experimental conditions, there is no correlation between the activity and stability.

Towards identifying the active sites on RuO2 (110) in catalyzing oxygen evolution
, Energy and Environmental Science, Vol: 10, Pages: 2626-2637, ISSN: 1754-5692While the surface atomic structure of RuO2 has been well studied in ultra high vacuum, much less is known about theinteraction between water and RuO2 in aqueous solution. In this work, in situ surface X-ray scattering measurementscombined with density functional theory (DFT) was used to determine the surface structural changes on single-crystalRuO2 (110) as a function of potential in acidic electrolyte. The redox peaks at 0.7, 1.1 and 1.4 V vs. reversible hydrogenelectrode (RHE) could be attributed to surface transitions associated with the successive deprotonation of -H2O on thecoordinatively unsaturated Ru sites (CUS) and hydrogen adsorbed to the bridging oxygen sites. At potentials relevant tothe oxygen evolution reaction (OER), an –OO species on the Ru CUS sites was detected, which was stabilized by aneighboring -OH group on the Ru CUS or bridge site. Combining potential-dependent surface structures with theirenergetics from DFT led to a new OER pathway, where the deprotonation of the -OH group used to stabilize –OO wasfound to be rate-limiting.
