High-performance hydrogen energy generation via innovative metal-organic framework catalysts and integrated system design by Kenzhebatyr Zh. Bekmyrza, Kairat A. Kuterbekov, Asset M. Kabyshev, Marzhan M. Kubenova, Aliya A. Baratova, Nursultan Aidarbekov, Mesfin Diro Chaka, Natei Ermias Benti

“…Furthermore, DFT calculations and XPS analysis revealed that the role of platinum in the OER is not direct catalysis, but rather a powerful electronic modulation effect; Pt dopants withdraw electron density from adjacent Ni and Fe centers, promoting the formation of higher-valent Ni³⁺/Fe³⁺ species that are intrinsically more active and lowering the energy barrier for the rate-determining O-O bond formation step. The integrated system achieved 1.62 V at 100 mA/cm² with 75.8% energy efficiency, maintaining stability for 200 h with 15–30 times lower precious metal loading than conventional systems. …”
