The oxygen evolution reactions in acid play an important role in multiple energy storage devices. The practical promising Ru-Ir based catalysts need both the stable high oxidation state of the Ru centers and the high stability of these Ru species. Here, we report stable and oxidative charged Ru in two-dimensional ruthenium-iridium oxide enhances the activity. The Ru 0.5 Ir 0.5 O 2 catalyst shows high activity in acid with a low overpotential of 151 mV at 10 mA cm -2 , a high turnover frequency of 6.84 s -1 at 1.44 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode and good stability (618.3 h operation). Ru 0.5 Ir 0.5 O 2 catalysts can form more Ru active sites with high oxidation states at lower applied voltages after Ir incorporation, which is confirmed by the pulse voltage induced current method. Also, The X-ray absorption spectroscopy data shows that the Ru-O-Ir local structure in two-dimensional Ru 0.5 Ir 0.5 O 2 solid solution improved the stability of these Ru centers.
