Ru-Doped Co₃O₄ Nanoparticles as Efficient and Stable Electrocatalysts for the Chlorine Evolution Reaction.

ABSTRACT: The electrochemical chlorine evolution reaction (CER) is one of the most important electrochemical reactions. Typically, iridium (Ir)- or ruthenium (Ru)-based mixed metal oxides have been used as electrocatalysts for the CER due to their high activities and durabilities. However, the scarcity of Ir and Ru has indicated the need to develop alternative earth-abundant transition-metal-based CER catalysts. In this study, we report a Co₃O₄ nanoparticle (NP) catalyst synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Furthermore, Ru was successfully incorporated into the Co₃O₄ NPs (Ru_xCo_3-xO₄ NPs) for further improvement of catalytic performance in chlorine generation.
