The development of efficient and stable bifunctional overall water-splitting is a crucial goal for clean and renewable energy, which is a challenging task. Herein, we report an Mn-incorporated RuO₂ (Mn-RuO₂) catalyst for highly efficient electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in acid and alkaline media. Benefiting from a more electrochemical active area with the incorporation of Mn, the Mn-RuO₂ required an overpotential of 200 mV to attain a current density of 10 mA/cm² for OER in acid. DFT result indicates that the doping of Mn into RuO₂ can enhance the OER activity. An acidic overall water-splitting electrolyzer with good stability constructed by bifunctional Mn-RuO₂ only requires a cell voltage of 1.50 V to afford 10 mA/cm² and can operate stably for 50 h at 50 mA/cm², which is better than the state-of-the-art Ru-based catalyst. Additionally, the Mn-RuO₂ exhibits excellent HER and OER activity in alkaline media, and it shows superior activity and durability for overall water-splitting, only needing a cell voltage of 1.49 V to attain 10 mA/cm². The present work provides an efficient approach to designing and constructing efficient Ru-based electrocatalysts for overall water-splitting.
