High Catalytic Selectivity of Electron/Proton Dual‐Conductive Sulfonated Polyaniline Micropore Encased IrO2 Electrocatalyst by Screening Effect for Oxygen Evolution of Seawater Ele... by Yuhan Shen, Shengqiu Zhao, Fanglin Wu, Hao Zhang, Liyan Zhu, Mingjuan Wu, Tian Tian, Haolin Tang

“…This structure combines electron conductivity from the organic framework and proton conductivity from ‐SO3H, weakens the Cl− adsorption, and suppresses metal‐chlorine coupling, thus enhancing the catalytic activity and selectivity. As a result, the overpotential for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is only 283 mV@10 mA cm−2, with a Tafel slope of 16.33 mV dec−1, which reduces 13.8% and 37.8% compared to commercial IrO2, respectively. …”
