Abstract

Kwon et al. demonstrate that the structural evolution of Ir-oxide nanocatalysts during OER depends on the crystallinity of the precursor Ir-alloy nanostructures. The loosely knit IrO2@amorphous-IrOx structure, derived from the polycrystalline ternary Ir-alloy nanocage, exhibits high OER activity as well as long-term stability.
