摘要

High-entropy oxides have emerged as a promising group of candidates for various catalytic fields, including seawater electrolysis. However, without rational understanding and guidance, designing multielement compositions for high-entropy systems and elucidating the synergistic effect of diverse elements in catalysis remain significant challenges. Herein, we report spin-state regulation of a high-entropy Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite oxide for efficient seawater electrolysis. The Cu2+ and Mn3+ with Jahn-Teller effect induced a transition of Fe3+/Co3+ spin state from low spin to high spin configuration. The high spin Fe3+/Co3+ favor OH adsorption and deprotonation during seawater oxidation. Besides, the oxygen intermediates adsorbed on high spin active sites repel the Cl ions. Consequently, (La0.76Sr0.24)3(Fe0.22Co0.21Ni0.18Cu0.17Mn0.22)2O7 achieved robust seawater oxidation for over 1200 h at 200 mA cm−2, showing competitive performance. The anion exchange membrane electrolyzer coupling with (La0.76Sr0.24)3(Fe0.22Co0.21Ni0.18Cu0.17Mn0.22)2O7 anode and Pt/C cathode could maintain the seawater splitting performance of 1 A cm−2 at 1.76 V and incessantly operate for 800 h. This spin-engineered strategy is universal to other high-entropy perovskite oxides and spinel oxides, offering promising way for designing efficient high-entropy catalysts.
