Ru-Doped Fe₂TiO₅ as a High-Performance Electrocatalyst for Urea-Assisted Water Splitting.

ABSTRACT: The urea oxidation reaction (UOR), with its low thermodynamic potential, offers a promising alternative to the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) for efficient hydrogen production. However, its sluggish kinetics still demand the development of an efficient electrocatalyst. In this study, the critical role of Ru doping in Fe₂TiO₅ is demonstrated to accelerate UOR kinetics. The computational finding confirmed the feasibility of this approach, guiding the experimental synthesis of Fe_2-xRu_xTiO₅. Benefitting from surface properties and electronic structure, the synthesized material exhibits superior performance with a potential of 1.30 V at a current density of 10 mA cm^-2 for UOR, compared to undoped Fe2TiO5 (1.40 V). Moreover, it demonstrates a favourab
