Abstract

Using the cluster-plus-glue-atom model, we optimized Ru–Sn oxide catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Optimal performance is achieved when all glue-atom sites are occupied by Sn (i.e., Ru : Sn = 1 : 2), thereby maximizing both OER activity and stability. This work provides novel insights and a rapid strategy for designing efficient, stable Ru-based catalysts.
