Dual-function surface engineering for enhancing anode stability in alkaline seawater oxidation
to form Os-Cl species, which inhibit chlorine chemistry corrosion via the common-ion repulsive effect. The designed anode achieves stable operation for up to 4500-h ampere-level real seawater electrolysis. Notably, this protection strategy safeguards the active sites from corrosion both during operation and after the shutdown of system. The assembled membrane electrode also exhibits a lifespan of 500 h for both continuous electrolysis and intermittent electrolysis, demonstrating an electrode design concept with broad application potential.
