Abstract
The water oxidation reaction is the pivotal half-reaction for photo-/electro-catalytic water splitting. Fabrication of high-efficiency and robust water oxidation is essential to realize wide-scale artificial photosynthesis. Here, we report an efficient strategy to improve the water oxidation activity of iridium oxide by a nitrogen-coordination method. Due to the coordination effect, the iridium oxide can be well dispersed to generate ultra-small nanoparticles and the intrinsic activity can be improved for the water oxidation reaction. This study suggests that high-performance water oxidation catalysts can be constructed based on a nitrogen-coordination strategy.
