Abstract

Activating lattice oxygen mechanism (LOM) is an attractive avenue for developing highly active oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts, but removing electrons from the metal-oxygen (M-O) band generally causes structural destabilization. Herein, an effective method is suggested to stabilize LOM-based catalysts by introducing “electron-reservoir” CeO2 layer on S-Co(OH)2. In-situ XPS, in-situ Raman and Density functional theory reveal that CeO2 act as an electron buffer to retain/sacrifice electron during OER different stages. Specifically, at initial voltage, CeO2 obtains electrons from Co(OH)2 to form high-valence Coδ+, which accelerate surface reconstruction to generate active CoOOH species. With the increased bias, reconstructed CoOOH or even CoO2 with larger work function can extract electrons from CeO2 to as electron donors instead of M-O band, guaranteeing the OER stability. Meanwhile, S element was designed to strengthen Co-O covalency and trigger LOM route. As a result, S-Co(OH)2/CeO2 exhibits excellent OER performance with a low overpotential of 227 mV at 10 mA cm-2 and superior durability over 100 h at 1000 mA cm-2 in a self-assembled anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer, demonstrating the pivotal role of “electron-reservoir” on developing sustainable lattice oxygen redox
