A Comparison of Photodeposited RuO <sub> <i>x</i> </sub> for Alkaline Water Electrolysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The storage of renewable energy is a pressing challenge to overcome in the transition toward a power grid based on plentiful, yet intermittent energy supplies. The renewables-driven electrolysis of water to form hydrogen fuel is an attractive avenue, but requires better oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) catalysts to be feasible at scale. RuO 2 is touted as one of the superior OER catalysts but only under acidic conditions; RuO 2 electrocatalysts suffer from poor stability under alkaline conditions. In this work, we evaluate three photodeposited RuO x OER electrocatalysts, all prepared via a scalable photodeposition method. Based on electrochemical and spectroscopic studies (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption spectroscopy), our main findings are that nanocrystalline RuO x catalysts outperform their amorphous counterpart and are more stable under alkaline (0.1 M KOH) conditions. This works thus lifts a major hurdle toward the use of RuO x for alkaline water electrolysis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
