Abstract

Proton Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis In article number 2503601, Jong Hyeok Park, Sechan Lee, Changsoo Lee, Hyun-Seok Cho, and co-workers report a titanium-modified, hybrid-phase IrO2 anode for PEM water electrolysis that integrates composite and solid-solution domains to tune Ir–O bond distances and dynamics. In situ X-ray analysis reveals bias-induced Ir–O elongation that promotes formation of OOH intermediates, mitigating Ir dissolution and improving OER activity. This work provides a practical blueprint for manufacturable, high-durability PEMWE anodes.
