Ultrafast Synthesis of IrB_1.15 Nanocrystals for Efficient Chlorine and Hydrogen Evolution Reactions in Saline Water.

ABSTRACT: The production of storable hydrogen fuel through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources such as solar, marine, geothermal, and wind energy presents a promising pathway toward achieving energy sustainability. Nevertheless, state-of-the-art electrolysis requires support from ancillary processes which often incur financial and energy costs. Developing electrolysers capable of directly operating with water that contains impurities can circumvent these processes. Herein, we demonstrate the efficient and durable electrolysis of saline water to produce chlorine gas (Cl₂) and hydrogen using structurally ordered IrB_1.15, synthesized through ultrafast joule heating. IrB_1.15 exhibits remarkable performance, achieving overpotentials of 75 mV for the chl
