摘要
Abstract High-temperature molten-salt electrolyzers play a central role in metals, materials and chemicals production for their merit of favorable kinetics. However, a low-cost, long-lasting, and efficient high-temperature oxygen evolution reaction (HT-OER) electrode remains a big challenge. Here we report an iron-base electrode with an in situ formed lithium ferrite scale that provides enhanced stability and catalytic activity in both high-temperature molten carbonate and chloride salts. The finding is stemmed from a discovery of the ionic potential-stability relationship and a basicity modulation principle of oxide films in molten salt. Using the iron-base electrode, we build a kiloampere-scale molten carbonate electrolyzer to efficiently convert CO 2 to carbon and oxygen. More broadly, the design principles lay the foundations for exploring cheap, Earth-abundant, and long-lasting HT-OER electrodes for electrochemical devices with molten carbonate and chloride electrolytes.
