Abstract Proton exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) represents a promising technology for renewable hydrogen production. However, the large‐scale commercialization of PEMWE faces challenges due to need acid oxygen evolution reaction (OER) catalysts with long‐term stability and corrosion‐resistant electrode assemblies (MEA). This review thoroughly examines deactivation mechanisms acidic OER crucial factors affecting assembly instability in complex environments, including catalyst degradation, dynamic behavior at MEA triple‐phase boundary, equipment failures. Targeted solutions are proposed, improvements, optimized designs, operational strategies. Finally, highlights perspectives on strict activity/stability evaluation standards, situ/operando characteristics, practical electrolyzer optimization. These insights emphasize interrelationship between catalysts, MEAs, activity, stability, offering new guidance accelerating systems.

Pursuing highly active and stable Ru-based catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) under acidic conditions is important in advancing proton exchange membrane (PEM) water electrolyzers. Unfortunately, inadequate stability, especially a large current density of catalysts, still hinders its practical application.

Proton-exchange membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) holds great promise for hydrogen production applications. However, the reliance of PEMWE electrodes on high loadings expensive iridium poses a significant barrier to their commercial viability. Therefore, development high-performance oxygen evolution catalysts with low content is critical importance. In this research, porous antimony tin oxide (ATO) conductive support particle assembly aggregate structure was fabricated by carbon template removal method. ATO-supported IrO2 exhibits significantly improved reaction (OER) activity, much lower overpotential compared unsupported catalyst. Moreover, it achieves 1.8 V at 2 A cm-2 an ultralow loading (0.3 mgIr cm-2) proton-exchange electrolyzer. Characterization techniques and density functional theory calculations have elucidated that enhanced performance attributed morphology ATO strong metal oxide-support interaction between support. These findings validate practicality nanostructured antimony-tin-oxide-supported applications offer pathway design low-Ir OER catalysts.
